Howdy!
Marie “the Minggl intern” here! This is my very last week of college (at the University of Texas anyway). It is oh so bittersweet, but luckily more sweet than bitter. The last-last day of classes is this Friday, but MY last day is Wednesday. Sweet, huh!
The past 3 years have been a blast at UT. I’ve learned a thing or two in my classes, but more so in actually living a college life. I grew up more than I knew I could and I’ve met people that have completely changed the course of my life. So how does Minggl fit into the picture? Well, I hope to continue my personal development through sites like LinkedIn and Facebook, both Minggl capable, which will help me transition and network as I begin to turn the next page of my novel called Life. I feel Minggl is one of those products that I can take forward with me on my journey.
I have come into contact with more people who are not looking forward to graduating college than people who are actually looking forward to what’s ahead. Isn’t that kind of sad? I’m in the latter category of people that understand that my time in college has swiftly come and gone and that what’s in store for me in the future is only going to be as good as I make it. I want to pave a positive, optimistic road for myself as I face new challenges and add ingredients to the boiling pot that is brewing my ideal equation to life that will help me be a better person. Of course “better” is a bit broad, but at least I’m aiming for something!
Anyway, I’ve had a LinkedIn account for quite a while, but I never really knew what I could use it for until I got a job offer from the company I will start working for in July. It seems to be one of the most valuable networking devices I can utilize as I build my portfolio of work and grow my professional network into a metroplex of people that are all within my reach. Minggl, again, comes into the picture as the simplest way to update my status on LinkedIn as well as getting updates on the activities of my LinkedIn contacts. I want to maximize my usage capabilities on this site now that I’ve realized its potential and simply set myself up for success.
Using Minggl has helped me realize how vital it is to simplify the way information is shared and received. If you think about it, it wasn’t too long ago that the term “social media” was only a daydream and that a Twitter was nothing more than the sound of a bird. We’ve certainly come a long way, so why not take advantage of what’s accessible nowadays *ahem Minggl *ahem?
I’ve decided that my favorite Minggl features are auto log-in, the live stream sidebar, and Flair Notes. Minggl is definitely worth a try. That’s not my biased self talking, that’s my logical self exclaiming! There are endless ways to mold Minggl into what works for you. You simply have to open your mind, reach out, and give it a try. Like Nike, just do it.
Until next time, Happy Minggling!
