Using LinkedIn? Add your Picture!

I have found that using LinkedIn (http://www.linkedin.com) is a great resource for networking and staying in touch.  I actually found my most recent position through a contact on LinkedIn by updating my status with the type of position I was in search of. 

If you are using LinkedIn, add your photo.  It can be a close up or distant shot, but make sure it shows the real you.  When connecting with old friends the photo reminds me of what they used to look like, and it puts a face to the name. 

Beware of adding a bad photo (with half your head cut out).  Take the time and get a decent photo to post.  It will improve your odds of landing that next job and people you meet while networking will be able to remember you much better.
