| May 21, 2013|
| |
In the last week, I’ve used social media to:
• Learn about an AmLaw firm opening a Miami office
• Learn about summer associate hiring trends at Texas firms
• Recruit candidates for an opening in NYC
• Reconnect with 2 contacts on LinkedIn
• Wish 3 LinkedIn connections and 5 Facebook friends a “happy birthday”
• Congratulate 2 LinkedIn connections on new jobs
• Find/read an article on patent-licensing
• Gather/read non-legal news
• Identify a speaker contact for a conference

9 out of 10 executives use LinkedIn “often” or “very often”

8 Tips & Best Practices
1. Use “attorney” rather than “lawyer” or “associate” to describe your title on LinkedIn.
2. Add a profile picture.
3. Update your LinkedIn status at least once each week.
4. Aim for 500+ LinkedIn connections.
5. Customize LinkedIn invitations.
6. Understand the risks associated with LinkedIn Endorsements and how to remove this section from your LinkedIn profile.
7. Don’t abuse the “mention” feature.
8. Keep your Twitter Lists “private” but your Twitter Profile “public.”
