In any case being “nice” and professional online is important. There are certain expectations that people have – right or wrong – when using social networks. Ensuring you and your company network online in an acceptable way is critical.
- First, keep sex, politics, religion, and family out of your online life to the extent that you can.
- Second, tell the truth.
- Third, if you are one of the unfortunate ones who are presently between jobs, make LinkedIn and other sites part of a daily ritual.
- Fourth, decide on what your “friending” policy is going to be and be consistent, at least for inside each social site that you frequent.
- Finally, spend some time thinking about how you acquired your existing professional friends: do you like to meet and greet at industry conferences?
