Advice for the Overwhelmed Social Networker

November 12, 2009 · Posted in HealthCare Sales, LinkedIn Tips, Medical Sales, Medical Sales Recruiting, Networking 

Dear Peggy,

I can’t keep up with all the requests on LinkedIn, Plaxo, and now Naymz.  Which one is the most important?  Can I let the others slide?

I get this question all the time.  Jobseekers in healthcare sales sometimes think, “if one online profile is good, five of them must be great”.  Not true–it’s more important to have one really great, active profile than several mediocre ones you can’t keep up with.  I really think that LinkedIn is the best social network for jobseekers.  Then Facebook.  But as a medical sales recruiter, I consider LinkedIn one of my best resources. 

Here’s my LinkedIn page:  Www.linkedin.com/in/peggymckee

And my Facebook page:  http://www.facebook.com/peggy.mckee

Yes, I do have a Twitter handle @salesrecruiter and a MySpace page, but I just don’t think the value is there for the jobseeker.
