Web sites like facebook and myspace are wonderful social networking tools for keeping in touch with your friends, but those spaces aren’t the most appropriate for professional networking with potential employers and job leads.

With LinkedIn, you can set up a profile that focuses on your academic and work experience, linking you to a growing web of professionals who are looking for the same things as you are. Get a head start on your search for a post-college job by creating an account and connecting with internship supervisors, faculty, and friends.
