What do you do with your LinkedIn profile?
Do you check it only every once in a while when a connection request comes through? Have you linked it to your Twitter account? Did you never quite remember to sign up in the first place?
As much as it’s convenient to merge our Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram accounts into one large social networking experience, LinkedIn has a special designation: professional networking.
And there is a difference between professional and personal networking, according to LinkedIn Career Expert Nicole Williams: “I see the same mistakes over and over!”
And, on LinkedIn, those faux pas can damage your career. (Huff post Business, 3/11/13)

Caucus chair Rep. Marcia L. Fudge (D-Ohio) fired off a letter to Obama Monday after reports that the president is considering Thomas Perez for Labor and Penny Pritzker for Commerce. So far, the president has nominated nine new Cabinet and cabinet-level members, including three women and one Latino.

“I am concerned that you have moved forward with new cabinet appointments and yet, to date, none of them have been African American. You have publicly expressed your commitment to retaining diversity within your cabinet. However, the people you have chosen to appoint in this new term have hardly been reflective of this country’s diversity,” Fudge wrote.
“Congressional Black Caucus offices have had numerous phone calls from constituents questioning why none of the new appointees will be able to speak to the unique needs of African Americans. Their ire is compounded by the overwhelming support you’ve received from the African American community.”
