The LINKED TO DENVER Group is about what is happening in Denver. Think business events and trainings, entertainment, music, fun and you are in the right place. It is not a classifieds bulletin board and we are stepping up the grooming of it so this will be more focused all the time. Tell others about it. It’s easy; they can simply go to http://www.joinlinkedtodenver.com.
The FRIENDS OF COLORADO Group, our sister group, is intended for people interested in what is happening in Colorado, particularly people outside of Denver or outside of Colorado entirely. They may be from Colorado, may have friends here, may vacation here, may be considering moving here or may have other reasons to keep tabs on what is happening in Colorado. If this fits you are someone you know, tell them to join up at http://ww.joinfriendsofcolorado.com.
HOT LINKEDIN TIP OF THE WEEK. The Headline Area of your LinkedIn Profile is the single most important part. Like a headline in a newspaper is an ad for the article, the Headline text is an ad for your profile. Make it snazzy and DO NOT use the default LinkedIn provides. You have 140 characters, just as many as a Twitter message so use them carefully with keywords, attractive text and perhaps even some special characters to stick out. Here are some examples that copy/paste in very nicely: │ ▌ ◊ ► ◄ ♦ • ★. See just how many characters you get in ALL the fields at the http://www.integratedblog.com.
