Editor's Notes
- #2 As a job searcher, we all know how valuable it is to build and develop your network Purpose is to get everyone on the same page on capabilities and features to help your job search or just stay connected to your network Both demo and a reference document How to set up as well as some advanced features I am not an expert….just a job searching using all the available tools at my disposal. I am also not a LinkedIn presenter. I constructed this to help out some fellow job seekers and as such have been asked to present it today

- #7 Officially, social media is “an umbrella term that defines the various activities that integrate technology, social interaction, and the construction of words, pictures, videos, and audio.” http://www.wikipedia.org
- #8 It’s also a fancy way to describe the zillions of conversations people are having online 24/7.http://www.flickr.com/photos/11739182@N03/1263985679/ Kris Hoet
- #10 BECAUSE 3 OUT OF 4 AMERICANS USE SOCIAL TECHNOLOGY.
- #11 BECAUSE 2/3 OF THE GLOBAL INTERNET POPULATION VISIT SOCIAL NETWORKS.
- #12 BECAUSE VISITING SOCIAL SITES IS NOW THE 4TH MOST POPULAR ONLINE ACTIVITY—AHEAD OF PERSONAL EMAIL.
- #13 Because time spent on social networks is growing at 3X the overall Internet rate, accounting for ~10% of all Internet time.
- #14 Because social media is democratizing communications. Big time.

- #19 Classmates.com started in 1995 LinkedIn has positioned itself to be the social networking site for business connections to promote services, help build professional connections, and assist job seekers and recruiters. While My Space and Facebook have been compared to a Friday night at the bar of a cocktail hour in meeting people, LinkedIn has been compared to the business professional group breakfast meeting.
- #20 It is said that MySpace is the Frat party kegger, Facebook is the picnic with family and friends while LinkedIN is the Breakfast networking meeting. It’s all about another way to Network & Connect!! http://www.flickr.com/photos/eye2eye/50892860/

Be found for business opportunities Be found by recruiters Find potential clients, service providers, subject experts, and partners who come recommended Search for great jobs Discover inside connections that can help you land jobs and close deals Get introduced to other professionals through the people you know Post and distribute job listings Find high-quality passive candidates
- #25 Its all about the second degree!! Talk about the numbers A virtual professional networking tool driven through users’ trusted contacts, built upon referral-only contacts with the ability to request introductions to job candidates, industry experts, business partners and potential job leads. Based on the six degrees of separation; refers to the concept that everyone is connected to everyone else in the world by only six degrees of separation, or six sets of acquaintances. (Kevin Bacon theory) Everyone has their own philosophy about building their network on LinkedIn Very similar to traditional “networking” in the sense that your reputation is on the line based upon who is in your network and who you may be asked to recommend or refer. Much like traditional networking, you get out what you put in.
- #30 Also can show: Brand Interests Great stuff about you that doesn’t fit on a two page resume Groups and associations you belong to

Your current position Two past positions Your education Your profile summary A profile photo Your specialties At least three recommendations Photo or not? A photo puts a friendly human behind a name and job title. A photo adds warmth and color to an otherwise neutral box. A photo delivers the message that you are putting yourself out there, not standing back in the shadows. A photo demonstrates confidence that you feel good about yourself

- #42 Goal is to build your network To build your network have to search out people that are already members and “get connected” Connection can be thru school, professional associations, friends.

- #49 User can decide whether or not to make contact….but you are introduced by a trusted contact Use Inmail if more than three degrees away.
