LinkedIn is said to be the leading online professional network. You'll see LinkedIn used in a number of different ways as it is a tool that can enhance personal brands, help you with research, give you access to new networks, and portray you as the marketing professional you are.
Many of the 16+ million people who have signed up on LinkedIn are probably asking "now what???" This 90-minute seminar cuts to the chase and gives you a hands-on view so you can understand what your LinkedIn strategy should be.
Editor's note: This is not, I repeat, NOT an infomercial for LinkedIn. We wouldn't dare.
Presenter
Jason Alba is the career management evangelist. He got laid off in January 2006 (and still hasn't quite gotten over it). Even though he had great credentials and it was a job-seeker's market, Jason could hardly get a job interview. Finally he decided to step back and figure out the job search process and try to understand all of the available resources.
Within a few months he had designed a personal job search tool, JibberJobber.com, which helps professionals manage career and job search activities the same way a salesman manages prospects and customer data. JibberJobber has been recognized as the gold standard in career technology, and has had numerous media mentions.
Jason blogs at www.JibberJobber.com/blog, authored I'm on LinkedIn—Now What??? and is the co-author of I’m on Facebook—Now What???

What Members Say About This Webcast
"This was incredibly eye-opening. Not only did I go from zero to 60 with regard to my understanding of LinkedIn -- what it is, how it works, how to get the most out of it -- but the session provided valuable information in terms of marketing onself and one's services, independent of LinkedIn as well. The presenter clearly knows his stuff and supported all statements and recommendations with concrete examples. Tremendous!"
"A valuable and comprehensive overview that gave me a much better understanding of how to make Linked-in work harder for me."
"Jason Alba provides everything a new linked in user needs to know in a concise and direct way - save time and listen to this webinar before you try to figure it out on your own!"
"I've been hearing about LinkedIn, but didn't know just how it was being used, and how it would benefit me. Now I have a much clearer picture. Jason also gave us specific how-tos for creating our profiles, connecting, etc."
"Social media is a large and complex subject and my frustration to date with the information available has been that it's been very superficial and presumes an intimate knowledge of each and every platform. By focusing on just one, Jason's webinar made me realize how to apply the strategies he suggests to a variety of other social media."
