Another question- what are the best things to put on a LinkedIn profile if say, you are still in college and don't have a ton of experience in the work force (other than summer jobs and minimum wage part time jobs). I'm at a bit of a loss, at the moment. Thanks!
Better World Books is an awesome group to work with. They are service partners with a group I'm in (Circle K International), and make it easy to hold book drives on college campuses, all for a good cause. I'd encourage everyone to check out their site, buy a book, or maybe hold a book drive of your own to help them out.
Yet another good article. After reading this, it really made me think about what sort of image I was presenting to the world via google. Fortunately, my google name search revealed links to articles involving service organizations, academic honors, and church, but it's not something young people think about enough.
In regards to facebook, would you recommend eliminating lists of favorite books, movies, and other personal information that is not related to a professional career? What is the perfect balance between professionalism and being a real person on social sites such as facebook?
Thank you for the information about blogs as well. Too many people think of them as online diaries for emotional teenagers, and many college students I know have shunned them as a result.
