Resources on How to Use LinkedIn Effectively

If you’ve met with your CSO counselor or attended a CSO presentation at any point in the past year, you’ve undoubtedly heard us talk about the professional networking site LinkedIn and the usefulness it can provide in your job search and networking efforts.

The most important first step in using LinkedIn in your job search is to make sure you have an effective presence on the site. If you missed this past Tuesday’s session on using LinkedIn in your job search, be sure to stop by the CSO to pick up the handouts and speak to your counselor about getting a copy of the presentation. You can also learn more at LinkedIn’s tutorial site: http://learn.linkedin.com.
