LinkedIn

Chris' post below inspired me to ask if you are all familiar with LinkedIn. If you aren't a member, you should consider joining. This is a great resource for developing a professional network and sharing your skillsets, expertise and experience.

You never know what possibilities could emerge from joining this site; although with anything, it all stems from how much you are willing to put into it. Some of the projects you've worked from your time at Purdue can be shared here and are great conversation starters. Another tip I have is that if you do join, make a detailed profile. Your experience in your work and education tells us a story about you and primes potential connections about you. I see many Purdue students on this site with minimally developed profiles, which tells us very little about why we should connect with them. I know you all have some very interesting skills, projects and interests going on-- don't discount those experiences.
