Stay connected with your summer connections through LinkedIn. Here are 5 simple tips to keep in mind as you network on LinkedIn:<\/p>\n<p>1. Connect with a purpose.\u00a0 LinkedIn is a professional social network, not a personal social network.\u00a0 Don\u2019t spam professionals with connections requests, be thoughtful and connect with a purpose.<\/p>\n<p>2. Include a personal note in your connection request.\u00a0 Why     are you reaching out to connect?\u00a0 To learn more about a members career path?\u00a0 To set up a 15 minute call to learn about your prospective professional connection?\u00a0 State your purpose in the     connection request.<\/p>\n<p>3. Participate in group conversations that align with your professional goals.<\/p>\n<p>4. Follow the companies you aspire to work for and learn more about.<\/p>\n<p>5. Share relevant, professional, through provoking content. Look like a thought leader as a young professional.<\/p>\n<p>And remember to join UVM alumni groups on LinkedIn as well!<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/groups?home=&amp;gid=4051582\" target=\"_blank\">University of Vermont Career Connection on LinkedIn<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/groups?trk=hb_side_g&amp;gid=39874)\" target=\"_blank\">UVM Alumni Association on LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Good luck to you all and be confident that you can do anything you     set your mind to.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers,<br \/>\nJohn Kelly O\u2019Connor, &#8217;05<br \/>\nAccount Executive<br \/>\nLinkedIn Marketing Solutions<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whatever you are doing this summer (job, internship, volunteering, travel), you are probably meeting interesting people.
