So you signed up for LinkedIn using your company provided email address and you’ve spent hours preparing the perfect profile… You connected with every person you’ve ever met and you asked for and received tons of glowing recommendations!
Everything is great!
But suddenly you are called to HR to find that your department has been eliminated and you will be spending the unforeseeable future collecting unemployment.
It’s OK!
You can use LinkedIn to hobnob with recruiters and network with connections! 
Wait, what was that password you used? Can’t remember it? Guess what? That password reminder is going to your EX-COMPANY’S EMAIL ADDRESS!
The moral of this story is to use your PERSONAL EMAIL ADDRESS for your LinkedIn account. You don’t want to get locked out! You don’t want to lose all your work.
