With each person I interviewed about their efforts leading up to the November 2nd election, I posed them a question that cuts straight to the core of this week -- "Why vote?" While the question itself is straightforward, effective answers are not obvious. Fortunately, I had the good luck to chat with some pretty clever and thoughtful folks.

fter a networking event, what do you do?

Usually, I review the business cards I received, and send an email saying it was nice meeting that person, and then I connect with them on LinkedIn.  Here are a handful of tips to help get the most out of your LinkedIn Account.

General Profile Tips

Ensure your profile is 100% complete

Use “key words” to relevant to your expertise

Elevator pitch should be well written, short and to the point.

Videos enhance the viewers experience.

Showcase your skills

There’s no question young people don’t vote as often as their older co-workers, and this election looks to be no exception.

A recent survey from the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press found 45 percent of people under 30 said they will “definitely” vote, compared with 76 percent of voters age 30 and older.

But a coalition of young professionals group is trying to boost that under-30 number in the Milwaukee area.

"I do not need to vote, it won't make a difference anyway."

Have you ever heard this from a friend or co-worker?  Well Maggie Nonnenmacher from YP Impact had this conversation with a co-worker, and instead of just telling her why she should vote, she decided to tell all of Milwaukee why to vote.
