LinkedIn & Job Networking…
Posted by ayeshawrites4u on November 3, 2008
Okay, maybe a lot of people are already familiar with LinkedIn. If not, let me take a moment to introduce you to the age of Internet networking to find a (drum roll please) job. Yes, you read that correctly. LinkedIn is a wonderful resource where professionals create accounts and then find people that they have met either personally or professionally. Either way, what’s great about LinkedIn is that they absolutely respect your privacy.
In order to contact a fellow member, there has to be an alliance between the two of you. You have to prove that you onced worked together, went to the same school, or met. If you cannot do this, then you have to find someone in your immediate network who is connected to that person to introduce you. Once that introduction is made, then and only then, may you contact the other person.
Hence, no more silly picture messages or the like. This website is only for the professionally-minded individual looking to get “Linked Up” to other professionals that may further their goals and initiatives.
If you’re interested in moving beyond social networking sites to joining a site that can help you make connections to getting your new job without ever leaving your home, visit www.LinkedIn.com to learn more.
As always, good luck with your job search.
