Experts Connection Offers LinkedIn Master's Class for Executives

Social Media Recruiting Specialist Jim Durbin Discusses Advanced Career Management Strategies for LinkedIn Users.

LinkedIn continues to be the first stop for recruiters and hiring managers looking for fresh talent. It's also the best place to find networking contacts that can make the right introductions when you are trying to get hired. In the next Experts Connection webinar, "LinkedIn for Executives: Beyond the Basics (2012 Edition)," social media headhunter Jim Durbin will demonstrate to attendees to advanced techniques in how to use LinkedIn to research new contacts and how to be found by hiring professionals. The webinar is scheduled for Wednesday, November 14, from 4:00 - 5:30 p.m. ET, (1:00 - 2:30 p.m. PT), and is sponsored by NETSHARE®.

During this webinar, Jim will apply his expertise as a retained search headhunter to show executive job seekers how to identify contacts, executives, and colleagues, how to use LinkedIn search engines and filters, and other executive sourcing techniques that will reveal how job seekers can increase their own visibility. He also will show you how to be found by those seeking your talents. The webinar will include live demonstrations of how to approach interviews and meetings armed with superior knowledge.

In this 90-minute webinar, Jim will explain how to:

- Read the information hidden in a profile;
- Find companies that are hiring in your city, and identify 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 rock star";
- Be found by those looking to hire;
- Quickly research someone you're scheduled to meet; and
- Stand out, both in your profile, and online.

"LinkedIn continues to reign as the primary resource for professional networking, yet few senior executives really understand how to really use LinkedIn effectively to meet their own needs," said Katherine Simmons, CEO of NETSHARE and host of the Experts Connection webinars. "In this master class, those with a basic understanding of LinkedIn will be able to add to their expertise. The tools and techniques that Jim will share in this session are not well known, and will give attendees competitive edges that will make them stand out online."
