TIPS FOR USING LINKEDIN® PROFESSIONAL NETWORKING SERVICES
Social media services such as LinkedIn®, Twitter™, and Facebook™ have
had tremendous growth over the last couple of years. LinkedIn® Corporation
statistics indicate that it has 70 million members (including executives from all Fortune 500 companies) in over 200 countries worldwide, and that 560,000
professionals visit the company's Web site home page every day. TTE newsletter editor Sue
Rosenfeld recently had a chance to talk with Anne Clark, Enterprise
Account Executive, about LinkedIn® professional networking services.
Profiles on LinkedIn® professional networking services
are as unique as the members themselves. Summaries range from a few
sentences to a few paragraphs. They may focus on a person's current career,
what they would like to accomplish, something they would like to be
involved with, or maybe even a combination of all three. Regardless of length
or content, a profile summary should highlight what a person has to offer and
the benefit they and their service provide to potential clients or partners. "It's
your name in lights," says Clark.
Be strategic in getting and posting recommendations
on your profile. Ask for, and place, recommendations in relation to a specific
job experience listed on your profile. Don't be afraid to ask someone to
comment on particular areas of experience or expertise in the recommendation
they write. "Recommendations should be from people that you have worked for and
clients that you've done business with," says Clark. "They should speak to your
talent and experience."
A photograph and
profile headline are also key components of a profile. "A photograph
shows you're real," Clark says. The profile headline is important because it appears next to your name in search results, as well as when you ask or answer any questions. "It is your elevator speech in a few words," she says.
Clark also
recommends getting your profile 100% complete in a timely fashion. "If your
profile is 100% complete, you're going to show up higher on a list in a
search," she says. Two things that help get a profile up to 100%: three job
experiences and three recommendations.
As with any
other venture, prepare the foundation before you start. Be realistic about the
time and interest you have for social media and online marketing. Think about
why you want to use LinkedIn® professional networking services and the purpose you have in mind for it. "Understand
your goal, and what you are hoping to get out of it," says Clark.

WILL OUR BRAINS SURVIVE THE DIGITAL AGE?
 In a new series devoted to the effects of our reliance on digital
devices in this modern world, the NY Times takes a serious look at the
collateral damage in "Your Brain on Computers".
Citing such cognitive calamities as memory loss, a weakening in our
ability to focus, an increase in impatience, and fractured thinking, the
exposé draws on the expertise of psychologists, neuroscientists and
communications specialists to warn us of the possible dangers of being
too connected.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
We began using TTE Transcripts in 2009 based on
a referral. The entire process of on-boarding them as a new vendor was
seamless. They listened to our particular client needs and were flexible in
adapting to our internal processes. We have assigned our largest client's
transcription to TTE Transcripts only. The pricing was very competitive in the
US market and I have found that the service delivery is well above average. I
would highly recommend TTE to any company looking to accomplish the results
that I have found.
