managing
expectations
• you will rarely be offered a job from someone
straight from linkedin
• in fact, be wary of strangers who offer to hire
you on the spot
• this is a tool to make connections that will
open up your options in the hidden job
market
LastModified2017-06-2110:13PMPacificStandardTimePrinted
• connect with
professionals you meet
at networking sessions
• find and connect with
recruiters for your
favourite companies
• stay connected to
mentors, past co-
workers, and managers
• connect with people from
the BCC
WHO DO I CONNECT WITH?

Hello Chance, it was a pleasure meeting you
at last week’s VMA’s. I enjoyed our
conversation on how you have been a top
artist without even selling an album! Let’s
connect and stay in touch.
Hello Ms. Kardashian, I noticed that you
launched a book strictly filled with your
selfies. Your 2014 mirror selfie was
perfection. As an aspiring selfie-er, I’d love to
pick your brain over a cup of coffee
sometime.
