What threats does LinkedIn pose, and what opportunities would we look at – if we weren’t LinkedIn Insiders?

What happens to your job search when there’s an unexpected foot or two of snow outside?

Several kinds of people couldn’t get to work yesterday, and tomorrow’s not looking so hot either. What’s a job seeker (or salesman) to do?
Poll Reveals Introverts Prefer LinkedIn!
Posted by Steve Tylock on 04 Feb 2010 | Tagged as: Ways to Use LinkedIn
January’s poll results are in – of people who claim to network in the real world infrequently, 85% say that they use LinkedIn heavily or modestly.
I guess it is true – those that don’t like to get out of the house do like LinkedIn – but that can’t be the only wildly shocking data this poll reveals.

Frustrating LinkedIn Search
Posted by Steve Tylock on 19 Jan 2010 | Tagged as: Search, Ways to Use LinkedIn
Longtime readers will know that I’m generally supportive of the things that LinkedIn does – and concentrate on giving readers advice that helps them best use the site as it exists.

How can you get to the top of the list?

I’m happy to present this first hand story of one of my direct connections – from his layoff to reemployment. LinkedIn played a prominent role, and you can see how he used the site to accelerate his job search.

LinkedIn – Not Designed For Business Networking As Such…
Posted by Steve Tylock on 17 Nov 2009 | Tagged as: Ways to Use LinkedIn
Argh… This is a comment from one of my book readers, “Ted”, and I had to transfer it here to talk about.
