One of the things I often hear from college students is that they don’t have a lot of success stories to share on LinkedIn.

I recently got a connection pitch that seemed different from the other unsolicited LinkedIn connections that I’m getting. Unlike other ones, it didn’t tell me that I was exceptional or magnificent.

In a typical American drive to work, most of us encounter a billboard or two.

A couple of weeks ago, I heard an interesting term when meeting with one of the Military Transition Roundtable groups.

I have a question or two for some executives who outsource their LinkedIn profile content to someone who is about the same age as my son, Pete, a 30-something.

With a growing reputation and nearly a billion worldwide users, LinkedIn is well-known for job seekers.

When it comes to any job transition, the missing link for most is not placing their LinkedIn Uniformed Resource Locator (URL) right under their name, phone, and email within the first part of their resume..

If you have a name like Art Garcia or Tom Smith, the addition of a middle initial within your LinkedIn title makes a lot of sense.

For the typical military professional in transition (aka #MPIT), one of the biggest problems I have seen them face is sharing a little warmth in their LinkedIn profile photo. When I encounter most veterans is the stoic look shown in my slide below.

I admit it. I love to tell stories.

Working with one of my students on LinkedIn interactivity, I  recently discovered a new type of LinkedIn user. He or she is what I call a “cheerleader.”

Job fairs are wonderful places for #mpits or military professionals in transition to practice informational reconnaissance.
