To all of the dozens and dozens of people attending the CSix luncheon today, it was a great turnout.
The advice was quite pertinent - update and maintain a great LinkedIn web profile, so people can find out about your skills and abilities.
Make sure your profile demonstrates your value to the potential hiring organization! Try to have it show up in your Google search, so that a recruiter or hiring manager can find out about you quickly and easily.
If you wanted to hide something - forget about it! (We can find out everything we want to know, these days!)
On your profile, make the Summary section really punch out. Focus on engaging and connecting with people, and describe the work that you want to be doing with passion and enthusiasm.
Remember to put search words, functions, titles, and special acronyms or terminologies into the Specialties section.
Research your target companies and go find their blogs, their twitters, and columnists who blog and twitter about those companies. Keep up to date on what's happening in the industry and with related competitors.
