Building a professional network
One of the most important things in building your career is creating a good set of professional contacts who in turn provide you will all sorts of opportunities for advancement – profitable sideline jobs, better full time work, and so on.
And in this day and age where everyone sees the importance of having an online presence, one of the most effective ways to go about this is through LinkedIn.com. LinkedIn can be described as a social networking website in the sense that it employs many of the features of a social networking website like Facebook or MySpace, but the big difference is that LinkedIn provides a professional network, and not just a social one. Keep in touch with former bosses and co-workers, as well as with people you might want to contact for some freelance work in your industry.
