College Students Should Link Up on LinkedIn

College students often wait until graduation to start thinking about their career and how to start it. However, this is a fatal mistake. Students should be working on their network of connections throughout their college career and keeping track of their network on LinkedIn. Networking is part of the college experience.

Some great advice for getting the LinkedIn ball rolling, and before graduation. As an adult student, I'm trying to set aside a few hours each week just to build relationships there for when I'm jobseeking after graduation. And you're right, it's easier when you're a student--even an adult one--because professors, mentors, the community, everyone wants to help students. Thanks for the post! I'd love to hear more about how to strategically build one's network to include targeted companies.

Hi Heather - That's great that you set aside a few hours a week to build relationships. That will be really helpful after you finish school. You are right people are often willing to help students so it is a great time to network. I will look into writing a post on targeted networking thank you so much for the idea and thank you for the comment.
