LINKEDIN FOR EXECUTIVES: BEYOND THE BASICS (2012 EDITION)

Class Description: LinkedIn continues to change the way we look for information. Serving as the largest business network on the planet, it provides updated information on companies, executives and job-seekers. It is simply the fastest way to research the people you meet, and those you want to meet. Jim Durbin, using his expertise as a retained search headhunter, teaches you how to identify contacts, executives and colleagues, using search engines, internal filters, and other executive search sourcing techniques. He shows you how he goes about finding the right slate of candidates for his client’s executive positions…and therefore how you can best be found by those looking for your talents. In this presentation, Jim walks you through live demonstrations (for both proactive and reactive purposes) on such things as how to approach interviews and meetings armed with superior knowledge. NOTE: This presentation is for executives who have a basic understanding of LinkedIn and are now ready to learn the more advanced features. The information is geared for executives; those in transition as well as those who are currently employed.

In this 90 minute session you will learn to:

• Read the hidden information in a profile.  
• Find companies that are hiring in your city, and who they want to hire.
• Get instant updates on promotions, terminations and hires from your connections.   
• Turn your profile from “average executive” to “forward thinking rockstar.”  
• Be found by those looking to hire.
• Quickly research someone you’re scheduled to meet.
