Need help finding work?

Looking for a job like this guy?

Well, I’ve run across many hommies who have lately, so I thought I’d share a tool one of my co-workers recommended. It’s a website called “LinkedIn,” and it’s an easy way to make connections with people in your field. Job openings are posted by your contacts and their contacts.

http://www.linkedin.com

The service is free, and I know people that it has worked for. Some other benefits:

  • It’s a free service
  • You don’t have to post your resume, you create a profile and get people you know to “endorse” it
  • Job postings are refined for what you are looking for
  • …and even if you already have a job you like, LinkedIn is a good way to make business contacts and potential business partners.
    • Now just imagine how happy your boss would be if you brought in more business?

LinkedIn is just a tool and probably won’t get you a job on it’s own, but it’ll certainly help in your quest.
