  1. Column 1 is the easiest as we just find a job that is posted and applyColumn 2 is often more successful in finding you the job you actually want (not as successful as column 3) and it pays off more over timeColumn 3 is the most effective way of finding the job you want because you are creating it – it also pays off in the longer run, but it involves the most time and effort because you have to leverage activities tied to all of the other job Standards and ActionsHow do those numbers work? The last two columns pay off over the long term – a culmination of activities through all phases. Although you are spending only 10% of your time in this activity it can have a pay off over time because it involves more depth and the jobs can come along at any time. The first method, once the posting closes the job essentially disappears.

  4. Balance your time and energy with the return on your investment. All methods have value.
  5. This moves us from Twitter to linkedin. In Linkedin you want to find people and groups so you can build your networkYour key activities will include Finding and sharing INFORMATION and IDEAsJOINING groups and discussionsActively engaging your network worksAnd Adopting an Approach of Being Generous.
  6. With Twitter you have access to a world class virtual library, a 24 hour news channel of the latest, mostly unfiltered news and events. Not only event news but the latest news on research, breakthroughs, trends and more. Visiting Twitter can be like attending a combination neighborhood party – professional conference – with different rooms for different conversations. With Twitter you have the opportunity to narrow your focus to just the professional realmWhen you integrate twitter and Linkedin you have an opportunity to get the best of both worlds. The ability to source your twitter crowd to facilitate your Linkedin networks.
  7. When you request a connection you HAVE to send a personal invitation. Look at their profile and say something about why you are connecting. You may know someone in common, have gone to the same school, are active in the same group – but say something specific. When they accept your invitation message them back and say thank you. You may or may not follow up with them again immediately. If you follow up immediately it can not be with a SALES PITCH. You must engage them around content and information. You must know them at least a few weeks before you request any type of leadThe exception is that if they share something in their timeline or a group that facilitates a professional or job related conversation. Keep your eyes open and learn and watch before you act.
  8. I have talked about groups so I wanted to give you a quick idea of how to locate groups. You have your list of existing groups – which you may find by looking at the groups your contacts are in. In the search field on the right you can select groups (were people is listed) and add a term to search.
  9. The process works the same as the last example. You share the post (after you read it) to other groups. Do not forget to ‘like’ and even comment in the time line to show your appreciation to the original source. Again these are all ways to build your network and facilitate engagement
  10. The goal in the groups is to engage not just troll the groups for members and ask them to join your network. Have a presence in the groups commenting on others postings. The can be quick postings. I have almost always received invitations to connect more then send them because I am active in contributing. It need not be time consuming. 30-45 minutes a day 3-5 days a week is a great beginning.
  11.
