In 2011, I held my very first social media class. The name of the class was “Get LinkedIn!”
Want to hear something funny? I wasn’t even on LinkedIn and was pretty much opposed to any kind of social media.
The idea to have a social media class came about because people had been asking me how to use social media — as I had been setting up social media accounts for others since 2009. Of course, once I had the idea, I had to set up a LinkedIn account though it went against every fiber of my being. Ugh!

Please do not confuse a LinkedIn Recommendation with a LinkedIn Endorsement. They are totally different. The first screenshot below shows you what an endorsement looks like.
She then told me that she had looked at my LinkedIn profile and copied exactly what I had on my profile and did the same on hers. She said, she “just changed some of the words.”
For some reason, she thought that was okay, but actually, it was not.
