I currently have a Linkedin profile. I originally joined Linkedin because I went to work full time and felt the need to start building my network. Needless to say, I haven't optimized the many opportunities in provides. After learning more about it in my social media class, It's time to get to work! (so to speak!)
There are many reasons to use Linkedin. Managing and controlling my professional identity is primary. It also provides avenues for connections, knowledge about careers and companies, discussion groups with experts, and a way to connect my blogs, website, or other social media that I use now or in the future. Posting updates and communicating with my connections hasn't been a priority. Primarily because I haven't pursued building my network. Although I belong to one Linkedin group - Sustainability Professionals, I've been more of an observer than a contributor.
Moving forward, I am going to update my page and actively engage in building my network. There are advantages to doing this and I look forward to learning more about the possibilities and trying them out.
