LINKEDIN GROUPS

LinkedIn.com has become the "defacto" rolodex for professionals. If you are professional you need to be there with an up-to-date profile along with building testimonials around your previous work.

I currently moderate the following groups. If you would like join any of them, please do let me know.

If you are an employer, you need to have a presence there. LinkedIn Groups is the best way that I have found to not only build community, but to position yourself and your recruiting team to develop and maintain it. If you would like assistance in helping to build your company's presence on LinkdIn.com, please feel free to contact me.
