I'm on it - I check it here and there. I used it a lot when I was searching for jobs.

This site is blowing up (stock wise) ...

I signed up but not sure how to really use it to my advantage so much just yet!

heather, i didnt find you on LinkedIn....

I'm under my maiden last name (whalen)....which brings up a huge question that I have!!

All of my classmates (Lehigh and NYU) know me as Heather Whalen. I plan on relying heavily on NYU for networking. BUTTT, I have since changed my name so I will be conduting all business (resumes, interviewing, applying, etc) in my married name. Confusing. I guess I may update my name to include both last names....

Re: LinkedIn

and on resumes i either write

firstname maiden married

Thanks j

I can't wait to connect! I thought you'd be proud of me that I'm involved in some form of social networking

although I will admit, when I connect with people on Linked it does make me more strongly consider FB. Maybe one of these days!

Hmm - no jessica's jump out at me in terms of friends. I studied biology and graduated in 03. Lehigh is obviously a huge engineering school so I did have several friends in that program but I never took those classes, etc.
