Follow these tips to navigate your way through the world of social networking.<\/p>\n

Just when you have mastered the art of handing out your business card, along comes another way to make connections \u2014 social networking online. Online communities help you make connections for business, dating or personal interests. Specifics vary, but they generally work as follows:<\/p>\n

\u2022 A friend or contact invites you to join the service. You may also join by visiting the site and signing up on your own.<\/p>\n

\u2022 You create a profile describing yourself and your interests.<\/p>\n

\u2022 You connect to your friend\u2019s or colleague\u2019s network, then expand your own network via message boards, blogs and connecting to members with similar interests.<\/p>\n

\u2022 By joining via an invitation from someone you know \u2014 someone with interests similar to yours \u2014 you could easily be connected to a network of hundreds of people within seconds of joining.<\/p>\n

Watch your steps <\/strong><\/p>\n

To help you navigate the new world of social networking, heed these tips:<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t jump at every offer to join a social networking service. Some focus on dating, while others are devoted to professional interests. Many mix business and pleasure \u2014 one moment you may marvel at a newfound friend\u2019s taste in tunes; the next you realise she works at the company of your dreams.<\/p>\n

But you probably don\u2019t want to devote your time making contacts with 20-something music fans when you\u2019re a 50-something sales executive with no interest in post-ABBA bands.<\/p>\n

Culture rules <\/strong><\/p>\n

Social networking sites can be like high school, with arcane social customs and rules. Before contacting the colleagues of the friend who invited you to the site, get to know the site\u2019s culture. A casual e-mail introduction may suffice at one site but could peg you as gauche \u2014 or worse \u2014 at another.<\/p>\n

Profile facts<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even social networking spots devoted to fun over work can lead to career connections. Make sure your profile doesn\u2019t include anything you wouldn\u2019t want a would-be boss to see. This is especially true if you are using a site primarily for professional purposes.<\/p>\n

\u201cPotential employers may check out your profile and make a judgment call based on what they see and read,\u201d according to a Tickle spokeswoman. \u201cTailor your profile to what an employer would want to see in a potential employee.\u201d<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be pushy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many members of social networking groups have had bad experiences with pushy types.<\/p>\n

\u201cBe sensitive to individuals\u2019 networks,\u201d says Jenna Gausman, a career counsellor with Kerwin and Associates. \u201cDo not be overly aggressive in trying to \u2018get in\u2019 with someone\u2019s network.<\/p>\n

Someone who is too persistent can be annoying and actually will damage their own reputation if they try too hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Do what you say you will: To preserve your reputation, keep your promises when offering to facilitate a personal introduction or find a phone number. \u201cYou must follow through,\u201d says Gausman.<\/p>\n

And if you express interest in another individual\u2019s help, be sure to follow up on the person\u2019s assistance.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
