Linked In

Did you know that a high percentage of all jobs are filled via networking?  Here's a recent article outlining what networking can do for you.  Networking

Networking comes in many forms and ways.  Look around your classroom.  The classmates of today are your colleagues of tomorrow and should form an important part of your network.  How can you keep your network straight?  There are many ways to do so, but developing a Linked In profile is an easy way to get started.

What are some things you should have on your Linked In profile as a student?
