LinkedIn 102 - Benefits for Job Seekers & Recent Grads.
Targeted
Audience:Job seeking professionals and recent grads who need to get to work, find a job.
Typically these professionals have fiddled some
with their Profile, but feel it's not their best effort. Their
networks frequently are less than 200 connections. They hear that
networking
matters, some are reluctant. Some feel that networking simply takes too much time to
deliver immediate results. Some prefer to focus their efforts on job
boards. They check their LinkedIn accounts occasionally sensing that
they should do more, but return to job boards. They are
aware of Groups and are simply signed up and not getting much benefit
nor making contributions. They have not
visited the
Companies and Answers features. When visiting the Jobs area they find
they are often poorly connected to the targeted companies and dismayed
that LinkedIn did not offer more. They are usually unaware of the
ability
to customize their privacy and preference settings, the status update
feature and its Twitter interface or when aware use it on a limited
basis, not sure of the utility. Objectives:
