I recently read the following blog post and wanted to share it with you - Ten Ways to Use LinkedIn to Find a Job.
My own experience is that LinkedIn has been most useful when I find a company/position I'm interested in. These connections are what have taken me from one of hundreds of people who may have applied online to a direct connection to the hiring recruiter and actual phone call to be considered for the position. I'm currently looking at 2 positions and this is exactly how I connected with these companies. When you find a position you're interested in, search your Linkedin network to see who you are connected with at that company. Then send a quick note asking them for additional information and/or tips regarding the position. If the contact is a 2nd or even 3rd degree contact, request your contact to forward your note to the contact. I currently have over 3,000 contacts in my LinkedIn Network and I am happy to connect my readers to my connections to network for job opportunities.
