Did you know there are over 100 million LinkedIn users spanning 200 countries? A new member joins LinkedIn approximately every second (over one million members a week.) Executives from all Fortune 500 companies are LinkedIn members.
Am I selling a service? No. Am I promoting a VERY useful platform for career networking and creating a positive digital footprint? Absolutely. If you have a LinkedIn profile, you can help maximize your Google search visibility. What would you want a potential employer to see? LinkedIn continues to be a platform that many college students simply don't understand. I'd like to help fix that! Here are a few tips on how to get started:
Create a complete profile. Add a picture (professional, of course,) fill out the profile in its entirety. As a college student, you might not have "work experience." List the leadership positions you've had in the past or currently hold. Bullet out a few key points on each project and keep it simple.
Keep your profile updated. Treat your profile just as you would a résumé. It's much more than just a résumé, though. Your profile captures your online presence, samples of your work, recommendations from former employers and colleagues and much more. Update this at least twice a year, whether or not you change jobs. If you do happen to change positions, definitely update it!
Join (and participate in) Groups. LinkedIn has a wide variety of professional interest groups. Find what interests you. There are local groups, groups for jobseekers, and groups on social media to name a few. Join a couple. Then, participate and add value to those groups. There's even LinkedIn Answers where you can find answers to millions of common questions. You could even use this platform to offer your expertise and answer a few. This can build credibility and visibility.
Connect with others in the industry. Seek out others who are professionals in your industry or the industry you're interested in. Reach out and connect with them. On LinkedIn, you're required to send an invitation to connect:
**A couple of tips regarding introductions: Tailor the message. Reference in it how you know the person. If you don't "know" them personally, reference who suggested the connection. Don't say you're a friend, colleague, or coworker if you're not. Be honest.
Reconnect with other networks. It's all about the network. A university alumni association automatically comes to mind. Yes, they're on LinkedIn. Reconnect with classmates and professors. Additionally, there is a growing amount of company alumni networks for former employees.

Top 10 reasons you should be using LinkedIn!
There are a lot of social networking sites out there that can help you network with other people on the internet. Some of them are there to share stories, images or video. LinkedIn is there to help you share yourself with other professionals. You can get endless amounts of work on LinkedIn if you simply sign up and add people that you already know to your network. Understanding the importance of LinkedIn and how LinkedIn can help you become a more networked and well-known industry professional is impossibly helpful for everyone.
Written by Dustin Brewer
LinkedIn can help you become better networked
#1 It can bring you more money and job opportunities
LinkedIn can bring you job opportunities, freelance and fulltime that can help you to move of within your industry. It doesn’t even require you to do much extra work, you may want to add others in your industry but aside from that there is very little work that needs to be done to ensure that your name is in the industry pool. You may want to participate in LinkedIn answers to get your name out there a little better. There are also posted jobs on LinkedIn that you can put your name in the hat for aside from just being networked with others.#2 It can help you keep in touch with industry leaders
You don’t have to just add the people you know on LinkedIn, you can have others introduce you to someone that you may want to know. Someone that can help you with your career or possibliy someone that would be willing to go into a business venture with you. I have been contacted by multiple people about blogging ventures recently through LinkedIn.#3 Stay in touch with other professionals
You may have the best job out there or be an industry leader yourself, but LinkedIn is an easy and professional way to stay in touch with other professionals you have worked with or for. It is also an excellent way to stay in touch with other professionals in your industry that you may have met at a convention. It is better than sharing your MySpace or Facebook account and other professionals getting to see how unprofessional you really are.#4 Get recommended by other professionals
You can easily get recommended by other professionals that you have worked with by just asking. These recommendations add a lot of power to your ability to get hired or your caliber of professionalism within your industry. The more people that recommend you the better your profile will look to others in your industry and connections list.#5 Get answers to your questions from other professionals
You can easily ask a question on LinkedIn to find help from other industry professionals. Their answers area is very helpful and there are always quick responses to your questions. It can even be a way for you to further network— beyond the normal benefits of getting a quick and reliable answer to your questions.#6 LinkedIn is your online resume
There are more and more people leaning towards a paperless method of doing business. Global warming is a real issue. I would personally almost prefer to see someones LinkedIn profile before they are hired then a regular resume. There is a lot more information available on a LinkedIn profile than would be available on a resume. You have your work history, school history, bio, web sites and how much work you have put into networking with other professionals. Which says a lot about who you are and how serious you are about the industry you are in.#7 LinkedIn is like having a website
For those that don’t have a website or a means to have people locate them on Google. LinkedIn fills that void. I know that I see my personal LinkedIn profile come up in Google near the top of the results. This can help other professionals find you if they have lost your phone number or email address. It can even help other companies locate you if they are interested in hiring you for contract or full time work.#8 Helps you keep track of you
I know that anytime I have to go and make a new resume I always have to reference my old resume to make sure I don’t miss any important points that I want to include. It is nice to have an online version of your resume to reference and ensure that you are including all the pertinent information that you will need to use.#9 You can put your picture on it
Last year they added the ability to put your picture on your profile. You can now be recognized easier if someone has forgotten your name but remembers what you look like. It is also helpful for people to remember what you look like if it has been awhile since they met you. Especially if you are about to meet them in a public place that may require somewhat quick recognition.#10 It isn’t MySpace
It isn’t going to send you spam from people wanting to be your friend. There isn’t a way to spam LinkedIn users and there isn’t any way to add additional code that can be manipulated to trick you into giving out your LinkedIn account information. You don’t have to worry about other not-so-savvy professionals adding glitter and 18 videos to their profile.Written by Dustin Brewer

You don’t have to just add the people you know on LinkedIn, you can have others introduce you to someone that you may want to know. Someone that can help you with your career or possibliy someone that would be willing to go into a business venture with you. I have been contacted by multiple people about blogging ventures recently through LinkedIn.#3 Stay in touch with other professionals
You may have the best job out there or be an industry leader yourself, but LinkedIn is an easy and professional way to stay in touch with other professionals you have worked with or for. It is also an excellent way to stay in touch with other professionals in your industry that you may have met at a convention. It is better than sharing your MySpace or Facebook account and other professionals getting to see how unprofessional you really are.#4 Get recommended by other professionals
You can easily get recommended by other professionals that you have worked with by just asking. These recommendations add a lot of power to your ability to get hired or your caliber of professionalism within your industry. The more people that recommend you the better your profile will look to others in your industry and connections list.#5 Get answers to your questions from other professionals
You can easily ask a question on LinkedIn to find help from other industry professionals. Their answers area is very helpful and there are always quick responses to your questions. It can even be a way for you to further network— beyond the normal benefits of getting a quick and reliable answer to your questions.#6 LinkedIn is your online resume
There are more and more people leaning towards a paperless method of doing business. Global warming is a real issue. I would personally almost prefer to see someones LinkedIn profile before they are hired then a regular resume. There is a lot more information available on a LinkedIn profile than would be available on a resume. You have your work history, school history, bio, web sites and how much work you have put into networking with other professionals. Which says a lot about who you are and how serious you are about the industry you are in.#7 LinkedIn is like having a website
For those that don’t have a website or a means to have people locate them on Google. LinkedIn fills that void. I know that I see my personal LinkedIn profile come up in Google near the top of the results. This can help other professionals find you if they have lost your phone number or email address. It can even help other companies locate you if they are interested in hiring you for contract or full time work.#8 Helps you keep track of you
I know that anytime I have to go and make a new resume I always have to reference my old resume to make sure I don’t miss any important points that I want to include. It is nice to have an online version of your resume to reference and ensure that you are including all the pertinent information that you will need to use.#9 You can put your picture on it
Last year they added the ability to put your picture on your profile. You can now be recognized easier if someone has forgotten your name but remembers what you look like. It is also helpful for people to remember what you look like if it has been awhile since they met you. Especially if you are about to meet them in a public place that may require somewhat quick recognition.#10 It isn’t MySpace
It isn’t going to send you spam from people wanting to be your friend. There isn’t a way to spam LinkedIn users and there isn’t any way to add additional code that can be manipulated to trick you into giving out your LinkedIn account information. You don’t have to worry about other not-so-savvy professionals adding glitter and 18 videos to their profile.Written by Dustin Brewer

Why is it so hard to find a job these days?
Let’s face it. Getting a job today is quite different from a decade ago. We live in an increasingly competitive world. Just like you, many people are struggling to find a job – especially one they really want.
Let’s face it. Getting a job today is quite different from a decade ago. We live in an increasingly competitive world. Just like you, many people are struggling to find a job – especially one they really want.
But first, you have to make it through that all-important initial hurdle: the job interview.
A job interview is one of the most important interactions in your life. And yet, unfortunately, it only lasts about an hour. That’s all you get. And within that short span of time, you have to convince someone that you are the absolute best candidate for the job.

QUESTIONS TO AVOID
| Regulations and US Law provide extensive protection against discrimination in employment. Many companies and organizations you will encounter state explicitly that they follow Equal Opportunity Employer guidelines. Basically, this means that they do not discriminate on the basis of age, gender, marital status, religion, or sexual orientation, to name a few. The Persons with Disabilities Acts also specifically protects people with physical or mental disabilities or handicaps in addition to providing special accommodations for them (e.g. wheelchair access). Because of these laws, organizations are increasingly careful about the way in which they ask questions in interviewing; no one wants to be the subject of a lawsuit claiming discriminatory hiring practices. Generally, employers must focus on what they need to know to ascertain whether the candidate is capable of doing the job. All questions must be directly relevant to the job for which the candidate is applying. |  |
While no specific federal, state, or local entity specifically provides a list of illegal interview questions, there is sufficient precedent (legal history) in court rulings, legislative decisions, regulations, and constitutional laws to govern certain categories of questions. Some of these questions may be perfectly acceptable outside of the US and so, may appear to be benign.
As an interviewee, you should be aware of the types of questions that may be problematic in the US as well as how to handle them in an interview. Bear in mind that both law and precedents continue to change. Therefore, the list of potentially illegal questions (or their legal counterparts) presented here is in no way exhaustive.
Illegal Interview Questions
The key to understanding unlawful inquiries is to ask only questions that will provide information about the person’s ability to do the job, with or without a reasonable accommodation. Also note that inquiries which are unlawful to ask a candidate directly may not be asked as part of a pre-offer reference check.
Age? Date of Birth?
Age based inquiries should be avoided because state law prohibits discrimination against persons age 40 and older. An age inquiry may be made to ensure a person is “old enough” to work for the job being filled, or if the job is among the few where age discrimination is permitted such as physically dangerous or hazardous work or driving a school bus.
Marital/ Family Status (often alludes to sexual orientation)
The purpose of these “family” inquiries is to explore what some employers believe is a common source of absenteeism and tardiness. Typically, these questions are asked only of women making the inquiry clearly unlawful. However, even if such inquiries are made of both men and women, the questions may still be suspect. Such information has been used to discriminate against women because of society’s general presumption that they are the primary care givers. If the employer’s concern is regular work attendance, a better question would be, “Is there anything that would interfere with regular attendance at work?”
Personal
Minimum height and weight requirements are unlawful if they screen out a disproportionate number of women or minorities. Unless the employer can show that a height or weight requirement is essential for job performance, such inquiries should be avoided.
Disabilities
Inquiries about a person’s disability, health or worker’s compensation histories are unlawful if they imply or express a limitation based on disability. Under the federal Americans with Disabilities Act, any inquiry at the pre-employment stage, which would likely require an applicant to disclose a disability, is unlawful. Employers must avoid such inquiries or medical examinations before making a bona fide job offer.
However, an employer may inquire about an applicant’s ability to perform certain job functions and, within certain limits, may conduct tests of all applicants to determine if they can perform essential job functions, with or without an accommodation.
National Origin/ Citizenship
Inquiries about a person’s citizenship or country of birth are unlawful and imply discrimination on the basis of national origin. A lawfully immigrated alien may not be discriminated against on the basis of citizenship. The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 require employers to verify the legal status and right to work of all new hires. Employers should not ask applicants to state their national origin, but should ask if they have a legal right to work in America, and explain that verification of that right must be submitted after the decision to hire has been made. To satisfy verification requirements, employers should ask all new hires for documents establishing both identity and work authorization.
Arrest Record
There are laws that prohibits inquiries about past arrest records but permits consideration of a current arrest. If an applicant is under arrest for an offense that is substantially related to the job, an employer may suspend judgment until the case is resolved, advises the applicant to reapply when the charge is resolved, or refuse to employ the applicant. A current employee who is arrested may be suspended if the charge is substantially related to the job.
An employer may not refuse to employ or discharge a person with a conviction record unless the circumstances of the conviction substantially relate to the circumstances of the job. If an inquiry about convictions is made, the employer should add a clarifier, “A conviction will not necessarily disqualify you from employment. It will be considered only as it may relate to the job you are seeking”. Anyone who evaluates conviction record information should be knowledgeable about how such data may be used.
Military Service
It is unlawful to discriminate against someone because of membership in the National Guard, a state defense force or another state or Federal Reserve unit. Questions relevant to experience or training received in the military or to determine eligibility for any veteran’s preference required by law are acceptable.
Affiliations
Race/Color/Religion
This question may discourage an applicant whose religion prohibits Saturday or Sunday work. If a question about weekend work is asked, the employer should indicate that a reasonable effort is made to accommodate religious beliefs or practices. An employ-er not required to make an accommodation if doing so would create an undue hardship on the business.
Credit or Garnishment Record? Charge Accounts? Homeowner?
Answers to these inquiries are almost always irrelevant to job performance. Because census data indicates minorities, on average, are poorer than whites, consideration of these factors may have a disparate impact on minorities. Therefore, requests of this nature may be unlawful unless clearly required by business necessity.
Educational Background?
While employers may inquire about a person’s education, only clearly job related education should be considered in making the hiring decision. Educational requirements that are not necessary for performance of the job may be unlawful if they adversely impact protected group members. Rather, find a reliable way to determine if applicants have the skills necessary to function successfully in the job.
Friends or Relatives working for us?
This question is not relevant to an applicant’s competence and should be avoided. Since the question implies a preference for friends or relatives, it may be unlawful if the composition of the present work force is such that this preference reduces or eliminates employment opportunity for minorities or women. This question may also reflect a rule that only one partner in a marriage can work for the employer. This tends to have a disproportionate impact on women.
Honesty Testing Being Done?
An applicant may not be required to take a polygraph test and must be informed in writing and orally that the test is voluntary. Hiring decisions may not be based on polygraph test results, without the employer considering other relevant information obtained independently. Employers may use only one permitted type of mechanical device that visually, permanently, and simultaneously records the person’s cardiovascular and respiratory patterns and changes. Questions must relate to a person’s work performance. Display of polygraph protection posters may be required.
Language Proficiency?
Some level of English skill may be necessary for many jobs. But, it is also clear that fluency or absence of an accent is not relevant for a substantial number of jobs. Employers must be careful about requiring English language proficiency and ensure the skill level being sought does not exceed the level required for successful job performance.
Lowest Acceptable Salary?
Women generally hold poorer paying jobs than men and are paid less for the same work. As a result of these practices, a woman might be willing to work for less pay than a man might find acceptable. It is unlawful to pay a woman less than a man for performing the same or substantially similar work.
Maiden Name, Spouse's Name? Mr., Mrs., Miss. or Ms.?
None of these inquiries are relevant to job performance and could be used to discriminate. A woman’s maiden name or spouse’s name may indicate religion or national origin. Having a person check a box for Mr., Mrs. or Miss may be an impermissible inquiry with regard to gender or marital status. An employer may not discriminate against a person because of their status of being married, single, divorced, separated, or widowed.
Use or Nonuse of Lawful Products? Do you smoke? Drink Alcohol?
A person may not be discriminated against for using or not using “lawful products” off the employer’s premises during nonworking hours. The law contains some exceptions, but employers generally should avoid inquiries in this area.
Age? Date of Birth?
Age based inquiries should be avoided because state law prohibits discrimination against persons age 40 and older. An age inquiry may be made to ensure a person is “old enough” to work for the job being filled, or if the job is among the few where age discrimination is permitted such as physically dangerous or hazardous work or driving a school bus.
| Example of Illegal Questions | Possible Legal Alternatives |
 How old are you? When is your birthday? In what year were you born? In what year did you graduate from college/high school? | Are you over the age of 18? Can you, after employment, provide proof of age? |
Marital/ Family Status (often alludes to sexual orientation)
The purpose of these “family” inquiries is to explore what some employers believe is a common source of absenteeism and tardiness. Typically, these questions are asked only of women making the inquiry clearly unlawful. However, even if such inquiries are made of both men and women, the questions may still be suspect. Such information has been used to discriminate against women because of society’s general presumption that they are the primary care givers. If the employer’s concern is regular work attendance, a better question would be, “Is there anything that would interfere with regular attendance at work?”
| Example of Illegal Questions | Possible Legal Alternatives |
| Are you married or do you have a permanent partner? With whom do you live? How many children do you have? Are you pregnant? Do you expect to become have a family? When? How many children will you have? What are your child care arrangements? | Would you be willing to relocate if necessary? Travel is an important part of the job. Do you have any restrictions on your ability to travel? Do you have responsibilities or commitments that will prevent you from meeting specified work schedules? Do you anticipate any absences from work on a regular basis? If so, please explain the circumstances. |
Minimum height and weight requirements are unlawful if they screen out a disproportionate number of women or minorities. Unless the employer can show that a height or weight requirement is essential for job performance, such inquiries should be avoided.
| Example of Illegal Questions | Possible Legal Alternatives |
| How tall are you? How much do you weigh? (Questions about height and weight are always illegal unless it can be proven that there are minimum requirements to do the job.) | Are you able to lift a 50-pound weight and carry it 100 yards, as that is part of the job? |
Disabilities
Inquiries about a person’s disability, health or worker’s compensation histories are unlawful if they imply or express a limitation based on disability. Under the federal Americans with Disabilities Act, any inquiry at the pre-employment stage, which would likely require an applicant to disclose a disability, is unlawful. Employers must avoid such inquiries or medical examinations before making a bona fide job offer.
However, an employer may inquire about an applicant’s ability to perform certain job functions and, within certain limits, may conduct tests of all applicants to determine if they can perform essential job functions, with or without an accommodation.
| Example of Illegal Questions | Possible Legal Alternatives |
| Do you have any disabilities? Have you had any recent illness or operations? Please complete this medical questionnaire. What was the date of your last physical exam? How's your family's health? When did you lose your eyesight/ leg/ hearing/ etc.? | Are you able to perform the essential functions of this job with or without reasonable accommodations? (Legal if the interviewer thoroughly described the job.) Will you be able to carry out in a safe manner all job assignments necessary for this position? Are you able to lift a 50-pound weight and carry it 100 yards, as that is part of the job? NB: Medical exams are legal AFTER an offer has been extended; results should be held strictly confidential except for reasons of safety. |
National Origin/ Citizenship
Inquiries about a person’s citizenship or country of birth are unlawful and imply discrimination on the basis of national origin. A lawfully immigrated alien may not be discriminated against on the basis of citizenship. The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 require employers to verify the legal status and right to work of all new hires. Employers should not ask applicants to state their national origin, but should ask if they have a legal right to work in America, and explain that verification of that right must be submitted after the decision to hire has been made. To satisfy verification requirements, employers should ask all new hires for documents establishing both identity and work authorization.
| Example of Illegal Questions | Possible Legal Alternatives |
| Where were you/your parents born? What is your native language? What is your country of citizenship? Are you a US citizen? | Do you have any language abilities that would be helpful in doing this job? (Legal if language ability is directly relevant to job performance.) Are you authorized to work in the United States? |
Arrest Record
There are laws that prohibits inquiries about past arrest records but permits consideration of a current arrest. If an applicant is under arrest for an offense that is substantially related to the job, an employer may suspend judgment until the case is resolved, advises the applicant to reapply when the charge is resolved, or refuse to employ the applicant. A current employee who is arrested may be suspended if the charge is substantially related to the job.
An employer may not refuse to employ or discharge a person with a conviction record unless the circumstances of the conviction substantially relate to the circumstances of the job. If an inquiry about convictions is made, the employer should add a clarifier, “A conviction will not necessarily disqualify you from employment. It will be considered only as it may relate to the job you are seeking”. Anyone who evaluates conviction record information should be knowledgeable about how such data may be used.
| Example of Illegal Questions | Possible Legal Alternatives |
| Have you ever been arrested? | Have you ever been convicted of ____ crime? (Legal if the crime is reasonably relevant to the job; e.g. embezzlement for a banking job.) |
It is unlawful to discriminate against someone because of membership in the National Guard, a state defense force or another state or Federal Reserve unit. Questions relevant to experience or training received in the military or to determine eligibility for any veteran’s preference required by law are acceptable.
| Example of Illegal Questions | Possible Legal Alternatives |
| What type of discharge did you receive? | In what branch of the Armed Forces did you serve? What type of training or education did you receive in the military? |
| Example of Illegal Questions | Possible Legal Alternatives |
| What clubs or social organizations do you belong to? Do you go to church? | List any professional or trade groups or other organizations that you belong to that you consider relevant to your ability to perform this job. |
This question may discourage an applicant whose religion prohibits Saturday or Sunday work. If a question about weekend work is asked, the employer should indicate that a reasonable effort is made to accommodate religious beliefs or practices. An employ-er not required to make an accommodation if doing so would create an undue hardship on the business.
| Example of Illegal Questions | Possible Legal Alternatives |
| All questions are illegal. | Are you available for work on saturday and Sunday? |
Credit or Garnishment Record? Charge Accounts? Homeowner?
Answers to these inquiries are almost always irrelevant to job performance. Because census data indicates minorities, on average, are poorer than whites, consideration of these factors may have a disparate impact on minorities.
