Most employers automatically turn to LinkedIn to research potential job candidates and a recent poll said that 89% of companies plan to recruit through LinkedIn. If you don’t have a LinkedIn profile, you will miss out on some valuable job search opportunities.

This fast-paced program takes you through the steps needed to design a strong, complete, “All Star” LinkedIn profile. You will create an accounting of your work experience including a Summary Statement, Experience, Skills, Education, and Outside Activities. You will also learn the technique needed to be seen on the first three pages of a LinkedIn People Search.

Enrollment is limited to 12 participants and you will need to bring a laptop or tablet to the session.

The speaker for this session is Nancy Anderson of Blackbird Training Associates LLC, a local training consulting organization. Nancy has over 25 years experience working in the training and Human Resources departments of Fortune 100 Companies.

This program is free and open to the public. Call (732) 356-0043 to sign up or click on http://www.libraryinsight.net/eventdetails.asp?jx=jbp&lmx=379583&v=3 to register online.
