OT: Members on LinkedIn

I'm trying to build my network on LinkedIn, any fellow 3g TL owners want to help me out? I'm fresh out of college and need more networking opportunities. Thanks to anyone who helps!

Andrew, you do know that LinkedIn is for work/business, right? Why don't you have guys sign up on your Facebook page....unless you're hoping to get hired by someone from Acurazine.



















<<<< By the way, you can put your Facebook link in the lower left hand corner-see here.

I'm aware, but in PR, I've heard that just having a good number of contacts CAN help. I actually just joined Facebook about a week ago, and from what I've heard potential employers may just give it a quick glance to make sure there are no drunkin pictures or anything embarassing.
On LinkedIn, your profile is a better judge of who you know or who knows you. It's just for looks really, unless someone on here is hiring for entry level marketing/PR .
And yes my major was 98% women. I had several classes where I was the ONLY guy.

I've been on it for a long time. It's like Facebook, but for work, basically.

It's a place to network for business, post your resume and get a job.

I'd be happy to connect with you but I'm in the microbiology/medical device testing industry. Probably not much help for marketing or PR.

I concur, having a linkedin can only help you.

As you gain more experience and update your linkedin, the more interest you'll get. I had one IT staffing company stalk me and find my current work phone # for a job up in norcal for a big name networking company.

off topic, but they had a huge password leak a month or so ago, but they seem to have remedied it by salting their password hashes. If you made your account in the past few weeks you should be OK.
