Confession time.
I have avoided professional networking sites until now, mostly due to a fear of the unknown and of being incompetent. A technological dummy I am not, but I dread the day when I show my age and, much like my grandma, cannot understand why the computer won’t work for me. Most importantly, I didn’t think that these sites were of use to me as a recent graduate and Master’s student.
Reality.
I wish I had joined earlier, I was entirely unaware of the benefits these sites had to me! Note to Twitter, Linkedin and Xing, start marketing to my demographic, we are new to the workplace and need your help! Twitter connects me to people whom I admire and with updated news that I am interested in. Linkedin and Xing unveils a whole network of professional connections and job openings in my geographic and educational area. The accounts took no time to set up and have helped me feel more connected to the professional realm. Click below to see a quick Twitt-orial on using twitter for business!
