LinkedIn.com--the Facebook for professionals
Hey Followers, I've recently discovered a place called LinkedIn. It is your professors' equivalent of facebook. Here, you can and should absolutely join (LINK!) with other people you know like current and previous classmates, professors, staff, business or school associates, and other professionals that you've met, know and are good friends with. Once you get a good and numerous network of people, this provides you the opportunity to not only keep in touch with them (perhaps and for sure many of these professional people are not on facebook!) and more importantly use them as a resource for job employment or company/corporate contact. The same would apply vice-versa. You can also get in contact with professional/academic organizations/societies where you can further expand your professional network, associate and interact with professional groups within your field of interest/study, and potentially expand your career opportunities. I highly recommend it's use as a tool for you to use in your career development and professional life.
