Steve did his Undergrad from Purdue & MBA in Finance and Marketing from Indiana University. He lives in the Kansas City Metro.

Steve Co-Moderates #LinkedinChat on Tuesdays with @LinkedinExpert and has guest hosted many popular Chats.
A student can begin to build their LinkedIn Profile by signing up and creating a profile and fill in key fields that you can. Start early and plan to save key presentation documents and papers, videotape your presentations. Participate in campus activities and become an officer. Have goals and accomplish them and start adding key field of study classes. Engage with professors, so they know you (and later recommend). Start building connections with family, friends of the family, professors, work supervisors, join Alumni and field of study groups: engage and then connect.
Some Tips you can do with your LinkedIn profile today:
- Add supporting information via apps (videos of presentations, key papers written, etc)
- Secure profesor and any work recommendations
- Expand network with super connectors

Fantastic information for students! I shared on LinkedIn as well so some parents might see it and encourage their students to get started.
