Secrets of Social Networking• This is not about technology! It is about relationships• There is nothing new in social networking. It is the exact

same as meeting someone face to face. Use the same etiquette.

• Do not try to find a job through social networking. Stand out, so you can get the interview!

interesting job prospects on LinkedIn.• Utilize the group functions to actively engage group

Secrets of Facebook• Have a full profile with your past experience that is listed

publicly, so employers can get a positive image about you (Note: No Jello Shots and Bongs)

• Great for re-connecting with former friends, old co-workers, alumni, and family.

• Groups are a great place to network with people of similar interests.
