Improving Connections
What are some good ways to get connected with more people? I have a LinkedIn, but I feel like that isn't very good at expanding contacts yet. I've searched on the internet for people, but I couldn't find any people. I want to meet more people at different jobs and careers and understand what people are going through. So I would like some advice to meeting new people. Is there a way that people go through it and find the people they want to speak with? I don't know how to find people or even talk to them. P.S. If anyone has a LinkedIn, could you connect with me? #linkedin #consulting #industry-contacts

When adults talk about "making connections" does it actually help you get a job? When has a connection ever helped you find a job, or advanced your career in any way?
Hi! My name is Anina and I'm a high school senior interning at CareerVillage. One of my best friends wants to major in Business and always talks about making connections. I don't see how having a bunch of acquaintances can help you with your career. If you meet someone once and give them your business card, is that actually going to really do anything for you? I don't even feel safe making a Facebook friend request if I don't know you for at least a few months. To those who have been helped by networking, how (and when) does it work? #business #networking #linkedin
What do social media marketers do on a day to day basis?
I'm a rising senior and this year I'm going to be working on my college applications. I want to be a marketing major. For anyone who works in social media as a marketer can you please help me understand what social media marketers do on a day to day basis? Im on social media all the time and I see companies posting messages and advertisements all the time, but I do not understand exactly what it's like to be the person behind those company social media accounts. Do you sit at a desk all day long looking at social media sites? Is it very stressful and fast paced? Do you work on teams or alone? Anything else you think would help me understand would be appreciated. Thank you so much! #marketing #social-media #linkedin #facebook #digital-media #twitter
