Webinar
Provides an Intense Course in LinkedIn Basics, Including How to Use
LinkedIn for Better Job Research and for Personal Brand Building.
NOVATO,
Calif. (October 5, 2012) -- LinkedIn continues to dominate the
Web as the world's largest professional networking destination with
more than 175 million members in 200 countries. More professionals
are making LinkedIn their first stop when they have to research a new
job prospect or career opportunity, but most executives only use a
fraction of LinkedIn's capabilities. In the October session of
Experts Connection (http://www.experts-connection.com),
headhunter and social media expert Jim Durbin will present "LinkedIn
for Executives: The Basics" with practical strategies and dos
and don'ts to help executives get the most out of their LinkedIn
engagement. The webinar is scheduled for Thursday, October 24 from
4:00 - 5:30 p.m. ET, (1:00 - 2:30 p.m. PT), and is sponsored by
NETSHARE® (http://www.netshare.com).
More
users are turning to LinkedIn to manage their professional
connections, but the scope and diversity of LinkedIn offer so much
more than basic contact information. LinkedIn can help you research
potential employers, learn more about a target industry, prepare for
an interview, and much more. No matter what your career objective,
LinkedIn can be an invaluable tool once you understand how to use it.
In
this webinar, Jim will explain how to optimize LinkedIn for your
specific goals, including how to change the way you network. The
presentation will include:
-
How to create a professional profile that promotes a positive,
searchable personal brand identity;
-
Criteria for contacts to add to your network, and who to keep out;
-
How to use LinkedIn’s search tools for your next career move;
-
The three biggest mistakes your colleagues are making on LinkedIn;
-
How to research competitors for better business intelligence; and
-
How to communicate effectively using your LinkedIn network.
"LinkedIn
continues to gain momentum as the first resource people turn to when
they want to advance their career," said Katherine Simmons, CEO
of NETSHARE and host of the Experts Connection webinar series. "Using
LinkedIn effectively gives you an advantage that other job seekers
may be missing. This webinar will provide all the basics you need to
apply LinkedIn to meet your career goals."
