My first piece of HR advice is to get "Linked In." Even if you are not currently seeking a new job Linked In is an important networking tool and the best part is that it is FREE!!

And don't just add titles, dates and names of employers to your profile. Complete it in as much detail as possible. Think of it as your online resume and cover sheet. More and more employers use Linked In to find candidates so make sure you are not overlooked!
To add a picture or not? Sure, add a picture of yourself. But make sure it is professional and not a picture taken on your last vacation or social gathering.
Hi NB. First of all congratulations on your new blog! I am looking forward to getting lots of great information and insight. I have had a Linked in profile for quite sometime but I know that I am not using it to the full potential. I would like to put myself out there for better career opportunities so any tips on how to make it more crisp, relevant, and a reflection of all that I can do would be great. Thanks!
