To find a job in today's market, you've got to think differently. Recruiters are looking in different places, and gone are the days of sending a resume to hundreds of job postings and hoping for a response.

With the evolution of the digital age and social media, you need to be using new methods for job search. LinkedIn is one of the most powerful new tools out there. That's why Jason Alba has developed this DVD, 'LinkedIn for Jobseekers.' This DVD guide is packed with tons of information and tutorials and will help you accelerate your job search. Everything you need to know about using LinkedIn for your job search is contained in over 15 sessions!

This webinar includes over 15 sessions on using LinkedIn designed to help you in your job search. Most sessions are about six minutes long, but I spend 25 minutes evaluating five different LinkedIn Profiles. As you go through this webinar you�ll understand what each section of LinkedIn is - how to use it, why to use it, what is important, etc. This barely fit on one DVD, so is not available for download (it�s over 3GB).
