This week I began concentrating on improving my online presence as I am about to start applying for jobs at the end of this semester. Last Fall semester I took Dr. McCollough’s Intro to PR class and as a final project we were to create a professional social media presence through Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube and WordPress. Unfortunately, I did not keep up with all of those platforms since then, particularly LinkedIn. This poses a problem because, surprisingly, I have found that several companies do not provide online applications but instead provide a link to LinkedIn in lieu of posting a résumé. I panicked a little.
I decided to do a little research and I found an article on prdaily.com describing 4 tips on how to make your LinkedIn profile extraordinary. After reading and following the advice I feel confident in my LinkedIn profile.
