&#8220;Use LinkedIn&#8221; comes to my mind immediately.
And here&#8217;s what I do when I hear or read that phrase&#8230;
LinkedIn tells me&#8230;

Well &#8211; that&#8217;s what I&#8217;d like to do&#8230;
Demonstration units are always fun;-)

On a completely unrelated issue, I&#8217;ve had access to a small Blackberry unit over the weekend.
I thought &#8211; hey &#8211; let&#8217;s check out the LinkedIn mobile app for this [...]

That&#8217;s today&#8217;s topic as I step aside for this guest post.
Brenda approached me a while back and asked if I would consider a guest. I agreed, and you&#8217;re now the beneficiary of her advice.

Nothing &#8211; when you&#8217;re able to pick up the slack on LinkedIn!
Several kinds of people couldn&#8217;t get to work yesterday, and tomorrow&#8217;s not looking so hot either. What&#8217;s a job seeker (or salesman) to do?

That&#8217;s a really important place to be isn&#8217;t it? The corporate recruiter has only so much time and it&#8217;s better to be the first candidate the search returns than the last.
