10. Do I need an online presence?
90% of HIRING MANAGERS
and job recruiters review
online information about
job applicants before
making a hiring decision.
Of those, over 70% said
that they rejected candidates
based on information that they
found—or didn’t find—online.
11. What do “they” think?
(Comment on the Barack Obama FB page) If you
wanted to work for "us, the people", why do you
continue to place fundraisers ahead of real issues. You
couldn't even visit the border in Texas and see the
travesty yourself. Instead you hide behind speeches
that say one thing yet you do nothing. IMPEACH!

33. Introductions
• Some people on LinkedIn do not allow people not already at least a 2nd
level contact to request to connect directly.
• Introductions allow your contacts to “introduce” you to another person.
• This is also good if you want to contact with a senior HR or Hiring
Manager—it is best to go through a contact you both already know, much
like having a company employee hand your resume to the Hiring Manager
or HR…
34. Introductions
• Search for a contact’s name
• When you open the person’s
profile, scroll down until you see
how you are connected in the
righthand column.
YOU are Here…
Contacts who may
IntroduceYou
Target Contact

• Hashtags allow you to search through Social Media by Category!
• Caution: Hashtags are only as good as the person assigning the hashtag…
Spelling, miscategorization, etc…
• BUT… Hashtags work to search on ALL popular Social Media!
