You can add a picture if you choose. Then select your gender and birthday and continue. |
Add People |
You can always add people later, but if you want you can add a few of your friends or coworkers for starters. Some people may have more than one Google+ profile, so if you are looking for their school Google+ profile just put in their email address. |
Build Your Personal Learning Network |
You can also follow other people and pages as well as businesses on Google+. Some people use this almost like they would use Twitter. |
Optional Information |
You may also wish to add your employer, job title, where you have gone to school and where you live. All of this information is optional. You would add it if you wanted to help people locate you on Google+.

You'll also start noticing your profile picture in Google Drive on shared documents and folders. And you can share photos, links, videos and even events right from the "share" link in your gmail toolbar. |
