NOVATO, CA, December 03, 2008
/24-7PressRelease/ -- LinkedIn and Facebook have become the "go-to" places on the web where corporate decision-makers go looking for experts, including experienced talent to hire. In the next session of Experts Connection (www.experts-connection.com), "LinkedIn and Facebook Essentials for Executives: Using Both Platforms as Professional Networking Tools," Jason Alba, well-known career author and founder of JibberJobber.com, will explain how to make the most of LinkedIn and Facebook for professional networking and show executives how they can be found by hiring managers. The teleseminar is scheduled for December 17, from 4:00 - 5:30 p.m. ET (1:00 - 2:30 p.m. PT), and is sponsored by NETSHARE (www.netshare.com).
LinkedIn has become an online portfolio for many professionals, and currently has more than 30 million users looking for partners, business contacts, and customers. Similarly, Facebook has evolved beyond the cool place to hang out online to become a vital resource for recruiters and hiring managers looking for talent. In this teleseminar Jason Alba will explain to executives how to effectively build and nurture their network of professional contacts and promote their personal brand, including:
• How to create a LinkedIn profile that increases your odds of being found;
• How best to connect with your LinkedIn network and maintain relationships;
• How to get the "right" recommendations for your LinkedIn profile;
• How to create a compelling professional Facebook profile;
• Techniques to find professional contacts on Facebook; and
• Connection strategies for both LinkedIn and Facebook.
"Understanding how to harness social networking tools like LinkedIn and Facebook demonstrates the kind of new media savvy that discriminating companies are seeking in executive candidates," notes Katherine Simmons, CEO of NETSHARE and host of the Experts Connection teleseminars. "This teleseminar is a must for anyone who understands that their professional future lies in building their online brand. Jason will demystify social networking for executives and offer insights and tactics that have proven successful for thousands of professionals."
