It’s been an entire week since we launched our “Be Social” goals download and provided ourfirst Social Media goal to help people just like you create realistic and more importantly, achievable goals when it comes to their Online, social presence.

This weeks goal is to update your LinkedIn profile. Make sure you’re using a picture that is recent. Is all of your work information correct? Have you recently reached out for any recommendations? When was the last time you posted an update?

Other things to update/ Cleanup:

• * Skills

• * Twitter accounts (you can add more than one)
• * Contact info (phone/ email)
• * Your bio/ summary
