Boost Your Job Search by Networking with LinkedIn

Networking is one of the most important components in today’s competitive job search environment. Job recruiters reveal that 60 to 80 percent of all jobs are found through active networking. With staggering numbers like this, and in today’s elusive job market, it pays to add networking to your job search tool box. One of the most effective (and free) networking tools is LinkedIn, a professional online network of individuals and companies. Join us for an informative seminar and discussion on leveraging the power of LinkedIn.com for networking, job searching, company research, increasing your visibility, and connecting with affiliates, including alumni, industry, and a variety of other business related groups. Ona Pradhan, Professional Development Training Coordinator for the Washington County Workforce Center will be the keynote speaker for this event which will be held in the lower social hall of St Patrick’s Church in Hudson on Thursday, May 26 from 6:30PM to 7:30 PM.
