  28. 8 Tips & Best Practices Use “attorney” rather than “lawyer” or “associate” to describe your title on LinkedIn. Add a profile picture. Update your LinkedIn status at least once each week. Aim for 500+ LinkedIn connections. Customize LinkedIn invitations. Understand the risks associated with LinkedIn Endorsements and how to remove this section from your LinkedIn profile. Don’t abuse the “mention” feature. Keep your Twitter Lists “private” but your Twitter Profile “public.”

  29. Sample Customized Invitations Event:“It was nice meeting you at ______.  I’d love to stay in touch.”  OR “I enjoyed hearing you speak at _____.  I’d love to stay in touch.” Group/Organization:“I am a fellow member of the ____ LinkedIn group and I saw your comments about ____. I’d love to stay in touch so we can talk more about it.” Reconnect:“It’s been a long time since we talked.  I hope you are doing well. How are the kids? I see you are now working at ____ company. How is that going? Let’s be sure to stay in touch.” Alumni:“I noticed that you are also a __________ alumni.  Perhaps we’ll meet in person at an upcoming alumni event!” Blog/Article:“I recently enjoyed reading your article/post about ____.  I’d love to stay in touch.” Congratulations:“Congratulations on your new position with ____!  I’d love to stay in touch.”
