Get connected

All classmates at Bradley University learned how to use Linked In for a job search this week. It is very important for those who are job seeking to stay connected with other people. You never know when one might help you land a job or introduce you to someone that is hiring. All of this reminded me of a posting I recently saw on Linked In. The posting was from someone who belongs in my Phi Kappa Phi group. He posted on the group's wall, "Lets get connected. Post here if you would like to get connected with other members of this group." How ingenious! He ended up getting over 245 comments on this posting. The posting has remained a conversation for over 3 months and more members are still commenting. My point here is that if you want to get connected to more people, try to reach out to group members on Linked In. Post on the group's wall that you are interested in connecting with other members. You will be surprised of how many will respond to your offer.

I posted my "Lets get connected" on the Bradley University Alumni group page, Bradley University group page, and the BUCAN group page. I am anxious to see if I get the same response as the guy who so craftily posted on Phi Kappa Phi's page. After all, I was informed that Bradley students are usually pretty nice to each other and are always willing to help.
