LinkedIn: the Professional Sidekick of Dreams!

LinkedIn has been one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Before when I had a low-level managerial job, I was not able to create any personal connections with upper management. I wouldn't have found the graphic design agency I use today, for example, without this social network.
Within days of creating my LinkedIn account, I had befriended 7 of the 8 Board of Directors in my company. I have been able to connect with them on a personal level that would have taken me years to develop through traditional means. However, I did find LinkedIn to be less rewarding than places like Facebook, where you are able to view a multitude of pictures and events occurring. I do prefer the added security of a LinkedIn account, where I feel that I am able to more easily control my privacy settings so that certain individuals do not see unwanted information. Overall, LinkedIn was a great experience for me. I promise you, it will help you open doors you never thought were even possible. So get out there and start befriending co-workers!
