Introduction
Whether you are looking for a new job or looking to hire somebody, one of the most important success factors is who you know. Your network of contacts is so very key to landing your next job or being able to fill that open position. I invite you to join me on two powerful networks.
LinkedIn lets you easily re-connect with past and present colleagues and classmates. LinkedIn helps you discover inside connections when you are looking for a job or new business opportunity. LinkedIn allows you to ask questions of those in your network and for you to share advice with others.
I currently have 172 direct connections (including U.S. Senator and Presidential Candidate Barack Obama). My total number of connections (through 3 degrees of separation) is over 6.4 million people, or approximately 32% of the 20 million people on LinkedIn. I'm an open networker and will gladly connect with you.
