And the #1 reason to join LinkedIn.com
Life truly is about who you know!
What is LinkedIn.com?
It’s a networking site geared towards helping people make business contacts. For example: Let’s say I’m looking to hire someone that is an expert web developer. Now, I have a friend/colleague named John and we are connected in LinkedIn John knows a guy that he used to work with named Frank, he has just the skills I need. Since I’m connected with John I can see who he is connected with. So I ask him to introduce me, and presto! I already have a candidate who is recommended by someone I trust. Simple networking, but this is location and time independent.
