Join me on LinkedIn

Hello
Great to see you on LinkedIn, for maximum exposure to your profile please review the following steps. This will increase visibility for executive search consultants, past coworkers, old friends and alumni to search and review You!!

First, LinkedIn is 5.5M users strong, it’s also the number one networking tool in the world and growing with over 10,000 new members daily. More recruiters are using this tool to search and source candidates than all the top job boards ( 4 million searches made per month ). What does this mean for you?! Exposure!!
I have been asked what if my current employer of HR department views my profile on LinkedIn. Great question; the real straight answer, LinkedIn in design is an online networking tool. Your reply is yes, I am on LinkedIn as you know I am a member of example; ( Chicago chamber of commerce and also wanting to re-connect with alumni from NIU ). Your company policy or HR department will have no problem with that answer as LinkedIn in true form is all about networking you can’t help it if a recruiter contacts you due to the fact your profile is everything their client is looking for.

Please follow steps for best results.
Your profile should be like an on-line resume, list your current job and provide strong key words, example account manager, top producer, include job title, role and function.
List two to three past jobs and populate as the first.
List all groups, associations, clubs, volunteering, church, fraternities, sororities, ect.
List academic completion i.e. Northwestern MBA, Management
Interests, this is all key words ( example) politics, networking, Chicago chamber of commerce, leadership development, rotary club,
Very important, plug in your email or contact number in your profile if you want to make it easy for people to get connected to you.

Why is all this data important? Here is a brief example, I am an executive search consultant, I am looking for a candidate living in Chicago market, went to Northwestern has worked in product development management and worked for Shure Inc. If all the key words are in the profile that person will pop up on the search list I now can review and contact them. It’s that easy! The key to this tool is to "see and be seen". You may want to conduct your own search campaign, example; you go to the LinkedIn home page select people, go to keywords: key in hiring manager, scroll down to target area location, key in Chicago, zip code 60504 and then hit search. All hiring managers in that target search will pop now you can research and contact them.
If I cant’s be directly involved in your search, I believe this tool and my network of over 1850 global contacts can be. Contact me anytime.
