| @JeffreyKeefer | @Melissa_Venable LinkedIn is something I need to know more about and leverage #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:08 |
| @Melissa_Venable | Q1) Let’s start with the basics …do you currently have a LinkedIn account? Are you active in the system? #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:08 |

| @JeffreyKeefer | @Melissa_Venable I have a LinkedIn account, though am not really active with it. Not sure what to do with it #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:10 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Melissa_Venable I have a LinkedIn account, though am not really active with it. Not sure what to do with it #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:10 |
| @npmaven | A1) Have a LinkedIn profile, fairly up to date. Challenged to find time to engage in groups. Limited “free” time. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:10 |
| @deborahbrian | RT @JeffreyKeefer: @thesiswhisperer @lmockford @holly_fraser @connectedtchr @deborahbrian LinkedIn for Adjuncts today’s #AdjunctChat http:… | 5/27/14 16:10 |
| @npmaven | A1) A matter of making time, and focusing on the groups where I’m best able to contribute. A perpetual “to do.” #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:11 |
| @Melissa_Venable | @JeffreyKeefer I think this is fairly common with LinkedIn – once you set up your profile, deciding best use is a challenge. #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:11 |
| @Melissa_Venable | @npmaven Ah yes, our friend (foe?) time. As the features grow, there’s even more to explore. Groups can be helpful but …time. #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:12 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @npmaven I have not found the groups to be helpful thus far; a lot of spam and often low engagement #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:13 |
| @Melissa_Venable | How often do you log in? I found this interesting LinkedIn user Infographic today: http://t.co/xfdIoSr9j8 #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:13 |
| @npmaven | Really working to find it. 🙂 RT @Melissa_Venable @npmaven Ah yes, our friend (foe?) time….Groups can be helpful but …time #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:13 |
| @KateMfD | Morning #AdjunctChat, still dark here. Not a LinkedIn user so just listening in. | 5/27/14 16:13 |
| @npmaven | @JeffreyKeefer Mixed experiences with groups. A few high-quality engagement opps w/mine. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:14 |
| @Melissa_Venable | @JeffreyKeefer @npmaven There are SO many Groups out there. Can take trial and error to find the ones that are a good match. #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:14 |
| @Melissa_Venable | @KateMfD Hi Kate 🙂 And good morning, thanks for listening in. #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:14 |

| @Melissa_Venable | Q2) What are _your_ primary goals for LinkedIn use? Networking, professional development, job leads, …? #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:15 |
| @npmaven | RT @Melissa_Venable Q2) What are _your_ primary goals for LinkedIn use? Networking, professional development, job leads, …? #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:15 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Melissa_Venable @npmaven I have joined a lot of the groups, though have not been able to make much of them yet #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:16 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | RT @Melissa_Venable: Q2) What are _your_ primary goals for LinkedIn use? Networking, professional development, job leads, …? #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:16 |
| @Melissa_Venable | Goals can help guide where/how you spend your time on #LinkedIn, and may change over time. Job search now, networking later. #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:16 |
| @npmaven | A2) Networking in some cases. Learning another. One of the largest (#corpgov) has been most useful & welcoming. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:17 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Melissa_Venable A2 Odd, but I have not thought much about my personal goals for using LinkedIn #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:17 |
| @Melissa_Venable | RT @npmaven A2) Networking in some cases. Learning another. One of the largest (#corpgov) has been most useful & welcoming. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:17 |
| @npmaven | A2) Also offering to share knowledge. That was well-received by members of a natl group to which I belong. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:18 |
| @Melissa_Venable | @npmaven Learning possibilities! Good for identifying leaders/influencers, current issues/trends, suggestions from peers. #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:19 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Melissa_Venable A2 I think my goal for LinkedIn may be to network = sharing ideas with others with similar interests #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:19 |
| @npmaven | RT @Melissa_Venable Learning possibilities! Good for identifying leaders/influencers, current issues, suggestions from peers. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:19 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @npmaven A2 Is that an active or busy group? #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:19 |
| @Melissa_Venable | @JeffreyKeefer How did you get started with Linkedin? Not even sure how I decided it was something I should do. #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:19 |
| @npmaven | @Melissa_Venable I learn a lot by simply absorbing what my corpgov friends share 🙂 #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:19 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Melissa_Venable Will you share how you have found this useful, too? #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:20 |
| @Melissa_Venable | RT @npmaven A2) Also offering to share knowledge. That was well-received by members of a natl group to which I belong. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:20 |
| @npmaven | @JeffreyKeefer Which one? The national org group, not especially. But they seemed to appreciate offer, chance to discuss. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:20 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Melissa_Venable I joined LinkedIn as it seemed to make a lot of sense, but it seems to do what FB or Twitter already do well #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:20 |
| @Melissa_Venable | @JeffreyKeefer Goal setting? I am involved in multiple social platforms, but different purposes for participating. Helps focus. #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:21 |
| @npmaven | LinkedIn not my top priority. FB & Twitter better for different audiences, more active. But I’m finding niches to explore. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:22 |
| @Melissa_Venable | RT @npmaven LinkedIn not top priority. FB & Twitter better for diff. audiences, more active. But I’m finding niches to explore. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:22 |
| @MirandaMerklein | Well, I have tried LinkedIn as an #adjunct, but it has yet to help me land living-wage work. I find it unclear how to benefit. #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:23 |
| @Melissa_Venable | I started w/Linkedin as a digital resume. But have found interesting conversations along the way. Not as active as Twitter. #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:23 |
| @npmaven | Other LI groups have been quite spammy – and clique-y. Engage where I’m welcome and can contribute. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:23 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @MirandaMerklein Welcome to #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:23 |
| @Melissa_Venable | @MirandaMerklein Hi Miranda! So, job search is one of your main goals for Linkedin use? #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:24 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @npmaven I find those niches to explore to be a challenge, as I feel I need to reproduce what I do everywhere #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:24 |
| @npmaven | @MirandaMerklein I think a big goal is finding where you can fit, contribute. A process, definitely. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:24 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Melissa_Venable I like that digital resume, though the groups I find active do not seem to be with substantial content #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:25 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Melissa_Venable I like that digital resume, though the groups I find active do not seem to be with substantial content #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:25 |
| @npmaven | @JeffreyKeefer It takes time, poking around. Challenged to find as much to devote to that on LinkedIn. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:25 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @npmaven What processes do you use to identify useful groups? #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:25 |
| @Melissa_Venable | @npmaven Thanks for mentioning “contribution.” Relationship building definitely a two-way thing. Ask questions, but help too. #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:25 |
| @npmaven | RT @Melissa_Venable @npmaven Thanks for mentioning “contribution.” Relationship building def two-way. Ask questions, help too. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:26 |
| @npmaven | @Melissa_Venable So important. Like community anywhere: can’t always taketaketake. Must be part of the convo. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:26 |
| @Melissa_Venable | @JeffreyKeefer @npmaven Good point here about differentiation across social media accounts/platforms. Multiple options. #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:26 |

| @adjunctforlife | Linkedin is a useless tool…it wasn’t helpful before the economy crashed and it sure isn’t going to be helpful now. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:27 |
| @Melissa_Venable | Q3) via @JeffreyKeefer What processes do you use to identify useful groups? #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:27 |
| @npmaven | @JeffreyKeefer Trial & error. I start w/groups where I’m a member elsewhere. Some have been invites, some exploring. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:27 |
| @Melissa_Venable | @adjunctforlife Hello there! Would like to hear more about your LinkedIn experience. There are limitations. #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:28 |
| @npmaven | Struggling with that contribution piece, to be honest. The time issue. Or I’m stuck in ‘learner’ mode. So I ask questions. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:29 |
| @MirandaMerklein | @Melissa_Venable Yes, I’m definitely looking for something that provides an actual income. 6/7 courses per semester is hell. #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:29 |
| @Melissa_Venable | Some of the most interesting groups (to me) are related to schools (alumni) and professional orgs. #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:29 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @adjunctforlife Welcome t #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:29 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Melissa_Venable @npmaven It is easy to get stretched too thin . . . #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:30 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | RT @npmaven: @Melissa_Venable So important. Like community anywhere: can’t always taketaketake. Must be part of the convo. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:30 |
| @Melissa_Venable | @MirandaMerklein Wow – agreed. There seem to be a lot of LinkedIn discussions related to adjunct and academic employment … #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:30 |
| @MirandaMerklein | @npmaven I think that’s what I don’t get. My history is journalism, publishing, and adjuncting. Not sure where to fit in alt-ac #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:30 |
| @adjunctforlife | Nothing will make the job search better if there are no jobs. You can learn acrobatics & walk on fire & it still won’t help #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:31 |
| @Melissa_Venable | @MirandaMerklein …but not sure what the stats are on how many lead to placement, contracts. #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:31 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @npmaven Can you talk more about what you have in mind? #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:31 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Melissa_Venable Do you find they have substantive conversations? If so, what makes them that way? #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:32 |
| @npmaven | @MirandaMerklein Have to test the waters. I engage w/peers in different interest areas. Connecting, learning, networking. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:32 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @adjunctforlife How have you tried to leverage LinkedIn? #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:32 |
| @MirandaMerklein | @Melissa_Venable I think there are lots who don’t know where to go. Even entry level positions are competitive and specialized #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:32 |
| @Melissa_Venable | @JeffreyKeefer Yes – good for sharing experiences- answering Qs about transition from school to work for example. #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:33 |
| @JHulehan | LinkedIn is about networking. You have to make it work for you. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:33 |
| @Melissa_Venable | @JeffreyKeefer Prof org Groups can be helpful to extend networking before and after a conference. #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:33 |
| @npmaven | Yes. Different for each of us. RT @JHulehan LinkedIn is about networking. You have to make it work for you. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:34 |
| @Melissa_Venable | @adjunctforlife Well, I can’t argue that. Numbers of available positions does make a difference. #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:34 |
| @npmaven | RT @Melissa_Venable @JeffreyKeefer Prof org Groups can be helpful to extend networking before, after conference. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:34 |
| @Melissa_Venable | @JHulehan Hi Jennifer! Agreed. 🙂 It’s a tool that could be used in multiple ways. Each user can decide priorities,participate. #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:35 |
| @npmaven | Yes, some of my pro groups use LinkedIn primarily for networking. They’re more successful than where LI is only 1 tool used. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:35 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Melissa_Venable @MirandaMerklein Perhaps this is something to look at; I have not searched for adjunct specs on LI #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:36 |
| @npmaven | LinkedIn not as full-featured as others. Groups w/presence elsewhere may find LI not their best forum for what they want to do. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:36 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | RT @JHulehan: LinkedIn is about networking. You have to make it work for you. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:36 |
| @Melissa_Venable | @JeffreyKeefer @MirandaMerklein Any thoughts on adjunct positions and referrals? Networking can help make the connections. #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:36 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @JHulehan Welcome to #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:37 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @JHulehan Have you found success using LinkedIn? #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:37 |
| @JHulehan | Some ways people use LinkedIn: expanding their network, relationship management, getting introduced to…, #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:37 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Melissa_Venable I thought your post for this week’s #AdjunctChat was quite useful http://t.co/z1E0CNnHTa | 5/27/14 16:37 |
| @Melissa_Venable | @npmaven Well said. Value of LinkedIn (and other networks) varies by industry, community, etc. #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:39 |
| @JHulehan | @JeffreyKeefer Absolutely! I’ve made great connections, and I’ve also gotten freelance work via LinkedIn. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:39 |
| @Melissa_Venable | RT @JHulehan @JeffreyKeefer Absolutely! I’ve made great connections, and I’ve also gotten freelance work via LinkedIn. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:39 |
| @Melissa_Venable | @JeffreyKeefer Thanks, Jeffrey 🙂 I think LinkedIn is worth exploring, trying before making a decision to use/not use. #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:40 |
| @JHulehan | Other ways to use LinkedIn: Promote your career, Group collaboration, Share presentations, Discussions, Build personal brand. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:40 |

| @JHulehan | LI summary statement is like your personal mission statement or the first few paragraphs of your best-written cover letter. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:41 |
| @Melissa_Venable | @JHulehan Yes! You can take an entrepreneurial approach -get the word out about your work, services. Build authority. #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:41 |

| @JeffreyKeefer | @Melissa_Venable I have heard people be very successful with LI, though have not figured how to contribute / leverage with it #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:42 |
| @adjunctforlife | How 2 get a job: 1) Have 20 mediocre publications 2) Have the right connections 3) B wealthy, privileged & the right ethnicity #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:42 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Melissa_Venable I am very open to exploring it more #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:43 |
| @JHulehan | RT @JeffreyKeefer: @Melissa_Venable I thought your post for this week’s #AdjunctChat was quite useful http://t.co/z1E0CNnHTa | 5/27/14 16:43 |
| @Melissa_Venable | @JeffreyKeefer I think either extreme can be helpful from minimal: complete and updated profile (comes up in LI and Google)… #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:44 |
| @Melissa_Venable | @JeffreyKeefer to maximum: participating daily in Group discussions, liking/sharing others’ updates, expanding connections. #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:45 |
| @JHulehan | One key to leveraging LI: joining groups! And then participating in them! #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:45 |
| @Melissa_Venable | Q4) What are your recommendations – where should an adjunct new to LinkedIn get started? Best use of time and tools. #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:46 |
| @Melissa_Venable | RT @JHulehan One key to leveraging LI: joining groups! And then participating in them! #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:48 |
| @JHulehan | A4) Join groups like Inside Higher Ed. Start discussions. Comment on others’ discussions. Send invitations to connect. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:49 |
| @npmaven | RT @JHulehan A4) Join groups like Inside Higher Ed. Start discussions. Comment on others’ discussions. Send invites to connect. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:50 |
| @JHulehan | A4) Start with a professional photo. Then an informative headline: Your headline is a short, memorable professional slogan. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:50 |
| @Melissa_Venable | @JHulehan Great #LinkedIn tips, Jennifer. And a good reminder to identify groups, influencers, etc. in #highered! #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:50 |
| @fabianbanga | hi #adjunctchat sorry i am too late, but I am here. | 5/27/14 16:51 |
| @Melissa_Venable | @JHulehan Well played! We are now connected on LinkedIn 🙂 Thanks for reaching out. #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:52 |
| @Melissa_Venable | @fabianbanga Hi! Glad you could make it. 🙂 Any suggestions for those new to LinkedIn? #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:52 |
| @JHulehan | Update your #LinkedIn status regularly. Posting updates helps you stay on network’s radar and build professional image. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:54 |
| @Melissa_Venable | LinkedIn, like Facebook and the others, changes. Stay current on new features, setting options, etc. http://t.co/40ELU2hN3M #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:55 |
| @fabianbanga | @Melissa_Venable I do not know, I am using LinkedIn for some years; more like a space for professional interaction and CV share #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:55 |
| @JHulehan | Posting in the National Assoc. of Developmental Education group on #LinkedIn helped me in building my brand. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:55 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Melissa_Venable @JHulehan Great idea; perhaps we should connect on LI! #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:56 |
| @Melissa_Venable | @JHulehan How frequently do you recommend updates? (I usually do this 1-2 per week, but …) #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:56 |
| @Melissa_Venable | MT @fabianbanga …I am using LinkedIn for some years; more like a space for professional interaction and CV share #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:56 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Melissa_Venable @JHulehan Odd, but I often do not think about asking people to connect; that is what I like about Twitter! #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:56 |
| @fabianbanga | @Melissa_Venable found some people when looking for instructors + connections in the area of #edtech / #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:56 |
| @Melissa_Venable | Yes! Send those invitations. 🙂 RT @JeffreyKeefer @Melissa_Venable @JHulehan Great idea; perhaps we should connect on LI! #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:57 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @fabianbanga @Melissa_Venable What strategies did you use? #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:58 |
| @JHulehan | @Melissa_Venable I think 1-2 per week is good. Sometimes I do more if I’m working on a project (i.e. post presentation I gave) #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:58 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Melissa_Venable @JHulehan What sorts of updates do you add? #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:58 |
| @Melissa_Venable | @fabianbanga Interesting – you found instructors to hire? #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 16:59 |
| @JHulehan | @JeffreyKeefer @Melissa_Venable Asking for connections is good! As long as you send more than generic “want to add you add” msg #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 16:59 |
| @JHulehan | @JeffreyKeefer @Melissa_Venable If I go to a conference–or hear something great at a conference, I might update with that. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 17:00 |
| @Melissa_Venable | @JHulehan @JeffreyKeefer Agreed – it’s a good way to get a conversation going. Stronger connection than “following” #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 17:00 |

| @JHulehan | @JeffreyKeefer @Melissa_Venable Mention projects, professional books or articles, or events I’m attending. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 17:00 |
| @Melissa_Venable | @JeffreyKeefer @JHulehan I share articles I’ve written, projects I’m working on. Mostly promotion. #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 17:00 |
| @JHulehan | If you’re active in a group, you may become a “Top Contributor,” which really gets your name out there! #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 17:01 |
| @Melissa_Venable | @fabianbanga I think there are more academic-centric communities than LinkedIn, may be better interaction for some. #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 17:01 |
| @Melissa_Venable | Anyone active via Academia . edu? RT @fabianbanga @Melissa_Venable wondering about the similarities with http://t.co/cQc4yJKeJD #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 17:02 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | Thanks to @Melissa_Venable for leading today’s #AdjunctChat on LinkedIn for Adjuncts. Please review and reply to any posts you missed! | 5/27/14 17:02 |
| @fabianbanga | @JeffreyKeefer @Melissa_Venable yes I did, we interviewed a candidate. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 17:02 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | I know I have a lot to still explore in LinkedIn, and feel I now have a few more colleagues there to interact with! #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 17:02 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | With so many of us here on #AdjunctChat on LinkedIn, perhaps we should explore having our own group discussions there! | 5/27/14 17:02 |
| @Melissa_Venable | Think about what you want to accomplish, who you want to network with – find the social community that makes the most sense. #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 17:03 |

| @fabianbanga | @Melissa_Venable now many people send CV to departments; because the unfortunate lack of positions. #adjunctchat | 5/27/14 17:08 |
| @Melissa_Venable | @fabianbanga The numbers are certainly not in our favor. Referrals have always been important. Maybe more so now. #AdjunctChat | 5/27/14 17:09 |
