		<description><![CDATA[Every once in a while I&#8217;m met by a skeptic - they don&#8217;t see the value in LinkedIn.  I have a standard process to convince them that LinkedIn is worth their time.
Let me take you through it&#8230;

People looking for jobs generally &#8220;get it&#8221;

But first - I&#8217;d like to acknowledge the group of people that need [...]]]></description>

My friend wanted to help her brother who was just laid off, and was starting to network on his behalf.
The advice was simple - he [...]]]></description>

My answer was C - list a consulting job and effectively position the value proposition.

Just because you can doesn&#8217;t mean you should&#8230;

Listing every client engagement as a job doesn&#8217;t make sense or position [...]]]></description>

Only read this if you want to stay on top of discussions happening within the groups you belong to&#8230;

		<description><![CDATA[When I&#8217;m speaking with employment networking groups, I&#8217;ll often explain how recruiters use the site - so that the attendees can tune their profile for better results.
I thought that might make for a helpful post here.

Searching for qualifications

Every recruiter with a job request to fill starts with a search.  Using the &#8220;Advanced&#8221;  &#8220;Search People&#8221; capabilities [...]]]></description>

You see Tom prospects with the help of LinkedIn and has experimented with different approach styles.
It&#8217;s a fascinating look at just how important it is to speak (and write) to someone as an individual.

I&#8217;d like to share an article I found where a reporter does just that.

		<description><![CDATA[The Guardian is reporting that those within the financial industry are increasingly LinkedIn.
It seems anti-climactic to think that investment bankers are joining, updating their profiles, and connecting more right now than ever before - but I&#8217;m a bit more interested to look inside and see that LinkedIn can identify this activity.
Let&#8217;s see what they&#8217;re seeing;-)

The best part about it is that you can reach people - through an introduction or InMail.
