Get Up From Behind Your Computer

Technology has given us the opportunity to network through Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Coworkers, and more. These social networks allow us to reach out to people that we might not have been able to connect to with otherwise. But, you still need to get out from behind your computer and go meet people.

Your online social networks are far more valuable to you if you use them to widen your network of people to meet in person. Online social networks have the advantage of quantity, but meeting face-to-face give you quality.

Link To Me, I Need a Job

There a dozens of different ways to use LinkedIn, from improving connect-ability to increasing the relevancy of your job search. Just look at Guy Kawasaki or The Mashable Social Media Guide or even the LinkedIn Learning Center.

If you don't have a LinkedIn account already, get one. This social media is specifically to help build people's career. It's like a resume online for everyone to see. By connecting with people (friends, students, colleagues, prospective employers, groups, etc...) you have more of an opportunity to network for future job.
