Jye, normally once you give LinkedIn your email address they will send you an email with a confirmation link. When you get that email, click the link, that should do the trick. Is that happening? Also rather than give any details away here in this comment thread, email me at ben AT hamilton.id.au and I’ll help you out.

It did go well – and one of the students has already signed up to twitter and connected. See where it goes.

Isn’t it great to see a school that supports its students to proactively manage their career before they leave school! In the new world of work visibility is just as important as ability, but your online reputation has to be managed carefully and strategically. I’m sure after all the fantastic tips you gave them yesterday they will be well ahead of many of their peers in this regard already.

Congratulations – it sounds like it went well. It will be interesting to see if any of the students take the initative and link with you through LinkedIn or elsewhere.
