Today I had to update my Linkedin account. I hadn't updated it since the previous school year and had a whole bunch of pending connections to make. My excuse was I had forgotten my password and was unable to log in on my phone. So yesterday I bit the bullet and changed my password, updated a few employment things and added all the pending requests. I realized that it wasn't very smart to leave this to the last minute. I should have figured out my password a while ago.
This is the problem with social media sites. They are always changing and if you don't have time to visit them often to update information, you could still be in high school according to your online profile on Linkedin.
A couple times a year I'll do an over haul of my online profile. I'll do a internet search of my name. (This led me to change my Facebook name so that my profile picture and name didn't come up for Facebook.) To me, Facebook is private for my friends and family. Mostly it's useful for sharing photos and organizing events with lots of people.(It's the easiest to correspond with a large group of people when your say, planning a snowboarding trip or something.)
I check my blurb or profiles on my social networking sites to ensure that I'm still the same person I described a few months ago. I make sure my schooling is up to date including the dates at each college/university.
All in all, I have cleaned up my profiles and I'm feeling better about my online profile as of now. I now have reached 29 connections on Linkedin and I'm actually adding new people instead of everyone just adding me!
