Article: If you're setting up a professional Facebook profile, avoid using it to play games. While Facebook games are incredibly popular, they aren't well-suited for professional accounts. The games you play can broadcast to your friends, and can be a big turnoff for other professionals. If you do want to play games, double-check to ensure that you aren't sharing any updates with your Professional list. Don't go overboard and flood your professional contacts' timelines. Try to limit your posting and sharing to a couple times each day. Any more and it will seem like you spend more time on Facebook than you do working, which will turn away most prospective employers and contacts. Taking a stand for what you believe in can prove beneficial to your career, especially if the cause is related to your field. Search for causes like you would search for groups, and Like the pages to associate with them. If it's something you really believe in, you can share the cause's updates with your groups and professional contacts. As you start joining some groups, you'll likely start coming across events and meet-ups. Take advantage of these to help propel your networking efforts. Meeting in person is still one of the most important aspects of successful networking, so you'll eventually need to take your networking beyond Facebook.  When attending an event or conference, make sure you have your "elevator pitch" prepared. This is a quick blurb about yourself that you can easily repeat to anyone you meet. Mention your education, some previous work experience and any interests. Think of it like a thirty-second resume. Get comfortable with some small talk. There will most likely be a lot of mingling at your event, which means you'll need to be familiar with how to keep light conversations going. The key to small talk is finding a common interest with the person you are talking with. Look for these similarities when they introduce themselves, and encourage the other person to share. Think before you speak. Before you open your mouth to respond, take a second to go over what you're about to say. This will help prevent you from stumbling over what you're trying to say, and will also help keep you from putting your foot in your mouth. Follow up with people you meet. Make sure to get business cards or contact information so that you can follow up with the person later. This can help you continue your networking efforts beyond Facebook.
