Re: Linkedin

I just joined it a couple months ago, the local chapter of the National Black MBA sent out an invite to join them and honestly that was the first time I heard about it, but it is a very good professional networking tool. You don't need an invite to join.

Re: Linkedin

No, no age, dem ask you dat? No I have my resume and my current company information that's about it. I did have a picture but I took it down. What I like is, for example the MBA group, a lot of the members work for major corporations in the area if I ever need a contact at one of those places I have it cause even though I don't know dem from adam I can connect through this. A lot of them also start their own business so you could connect with them on that too.

I believe in the beginning, like ASW, they wanted to remain exclusive, hence, would only allow allow access by invitations from existing members. A legacy from that era is the <span style="font-weight: bold">IDK</span> membership cancellation clause mentioned above.

They were so strict about only inviting people known by members, that they would not hesitate to cancel violaters' memberships. From what I remember, GMAIL followed the same concept, but that has also changed since.

Re: Linkedin

We recruit ppl off LinkedIn and facebook.

As smadyd above say Linked In is more 'elite'. When we a look Executive positions, we generally prefer to stick linked in candidates unless smaddy recommend someone on FB

Thank you Witchy... nuff reading. Mi is a Project Manager, ma'am. Btw, how di dogs and yu husband still over by S/AFB? As for Linkedin...

I accepted the LinkedIn invitation and created my profile... long and tedious and not even done. Searched for names and found a few folks I know both professionally and personal. I'll play around with it some more.</div></div>
Nope. Mr Witchy came home in February 2007, after my last suicide attempt. He's been home since, and won't be going anywhere without me anymore, not after my last suicide attempt.
Where you been that you missed all that? Wow.

Dogs fine, cats fine, turtles fine, and ferret finally dead of old age. Midnight turned 15 years old on February 11th, 2009. He's ancient and silver - ot black any more... but he's just fine for a very old dog whose age is comparative to that of a 90-yr-old human.

Do all of the profile-filling-out stuff that you can. Ask people for reccomendations, so long as you are sure they'll give good recs. If you don't already have a good clear pic of your face, dressed in appropriate business attire - get a friend with a digicam to take a pic of you after you do your hair and face nicely and put on a suit jacket. You only need from chest or neck up to look business-y... Add the pic.

That reminds me, I need to do that for my own profile...

The website will continue to prompt you, on the right-hand side, with your percentage mark, what to do next.

When you have done everything you can and that LinkedIn prompts (like I told you) - PM me and ask, and Mr Witchy and I will help you long further with LinkedIn, if you wish.
