How to Use LinkedIN

Jason Alba, who created the Jibber Jobber Career Toolset, recently wrote a book, “I’m on LinkedIN –Now What??“. Well, I just bought my copy and noticed you can get yours on Amazon… if you want.
Review pending… as soon as I consume and digest all of Jason’s delectable networking knowledge.

Come one, Come all to Facebook… except you… and you… and…

Yeah, I know this is old news, but when Facebook puts up a tool asking you to import your Gmail contacts, and then BANS YOU for doing exactly that… something’s gotta be said.
Harry Joiner, the Marketing Headhunter, was banned for doing just what Facebook said. Maybe it’s because he’s a “recruiter” (boo, hiss) and [...]

LinkedIn Listening?

Look, I am not saying I started this, but according to what Mashable’s saying, the marketplace is moving fast enough away from LinkedIn and closed-wall applications in-general, that it appears they may be actually implementing some of the stuff I complained about 18 months ago.

Oops. We don’t know you as well as we wish we did

Hm.

That’s a real shame as those same corporations are crying the blues about how hard it is to recruit the best Gen [...]

Why Facebook Gets My Lovin’

I have a new desktop, and it’s NOT from google. Of all things, it’s a social networking site that actually delivers on the promise of what that means–a simple, fun way to keep tabs on people you know and people you care about.

Yep, it’s Facebook.
In the last few weeks, I’ve been so passionate about Facebook [...]

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised

(Alternate title for this post: "If you shout your job-ad in the forest, will anyone hear you?")A great Utah County company, Mozy, recently held a competition to find and reward top local programming talent with a $10K prize.  Their intention was to use this as an avenue to locate potential employees.  It’s a great idea.
However, [...]

Where Do Top Talent Come From?

If you wanted to take on a company like Apple, it only makes sense that you would possibly want to recruit the kind of people they recruit, boosting your company’s brainpower while shortening the supply for your competitor.
As LinkedIn Kung Fu Master Shally Steckerl over at ERE found out, there is a way you can [...]
