The LinkedIn Job Search

Today's task is "optimizing" my Linkedin account for the job search.

I started at Technorati and found this blog post:

"I hear countless stories every week from people who land amazing full time positions at great companies thanks to engagement on LinkedIn. Although there are a number of approaches you can take when hunting for the right job, start with these 13 important tips for using LinkedIn effectively."

Never have I heard of a job connection on LinkedIn, but a good friend of mine just asked, "What's LinkedIn for, anyway?" after I 'connected' with him over through LinkedIn.

But, I'll give it a try.  In summary, good advice is to:
  • Complete your profile
  • Update your profile
  • Connect, Connect, and Connect
  • Give References (in order to get them)
  • Make a Group
