Remember:
This is not Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or any other
informal network. This is professional. This is your resume.
This is your career.
Be aware of who you’re connecting with – stranger danger!
Be strategic with your connections and your network.
If you’re a passive job-seeker, be careful about connecting
with recruiters and following companies.
Vouch for someone with caution – recommending or
endorsing someone is a reflection of your reputation, too.
