What do you stand for? Will you fit in with the company? This is what hiring employers want to know。 Starting with baby steps of setting up a profile to advanced methods of networking with recruiters, Linked should be in every adult library。 The perfect gift for a graduate starting out, a friend changing careers, or the 50-something whose company is closing down, this book will be appreciated by multitudes。 Thanks, Omar and Jeremy。 (After the casual tone of the prose, I feel we're on a first name basis。) You knew just what we needed。 。。。more
