IA LinkedIn® Workshops for Job Seekers

The IA LinkedIn® Workshop for Job Seekers is designed to GET YOU A BETTER JOB FASTER than otherwise possible. Every day you are not working you are losing $200-$400 in most cases.

Since the biggest users of LinkedIn are recruiters it makes the most sense to be maximizing your efforts by making yourself look as good as possible and being as available as possible on LinkedIn®. In fact, LinkedIn® is the sole recruiting tool used by many recruiters today – both 3^rd party recruiters and in-house recruiters. IA recently trained the entire HR staff at a very large national telecom company for example.

This ½ day Workshop is taught once each month and it teaches you specifically how to maximize your success in finding a job using LinkedIn®. Considering how much money you LOSE every day you are not working, the ROI can be amazing. The workshop will teach you specifically:

1.     How to craft the best possible LinkedIn Profile that makes you most PRESENTABLE and most FINDABLE.

2.     How to locate the companies and organizations that may need your services.

3.     How to identify and research the key individuals at those companies.

4.     How to best communicate with them so you will not get “lost in the shuffle”.

5.     How to use the power of Groups to get more noticed.

6.     WHAT NOT TO DO so that you don’t “shoot yourself in the foot”

The Workshop also includes a terrific 14 page handout of Job Seeker tips and 3^rd Party Resources developed by Alan Case, IA’s Expert Instructor for this specific Job Seeker Workshop.

IA LinkedIn® Workshops for Recruiters and HR Professionals

The IA LinkedIn® Workshop for Recruiters and HR Professionals teaches those involved with staffing and other HR concerns how to most effectively utilize the power of LinkedIn® to achieve the greatest results in the least amount of time.

The biggest users of LinkedIn are in the staffing industry by far and it is no wonder. Finding key personnel has a tremendous Return on Investment.

It goes well beyond the basics and focuses on the specific ROI that Recruiters and HR Professionals can realize if they are working most effectively with LinkedIn.

1. Finding key individuals to meet specific needs, perhaps in remote geographies.
2. Researching candidate experiences, capabilities and backgrounds with a forward vs. historic focus.
3. Checking references to be sure this is the right individual for the job at hand.
4. Building a deep and wide network so that, when a particular need arises, you have the network that you need to help you quickly step up to the task.
