We're in a fairly dynamic industry where people move around quite a bit. It's been invaluable in keeping track of current clients, former clients, and finding prospective clients. They get to see what new things we're working on as well as events we're hosting. It took us two years to get our president to join but once he did, it only took him about a week to see what an incredibly useful tool it was. He found that many of his contacts had changed companies or positions and he hadn't been aware of it - understandable since our client data base is pretty large. I've also reconnected with a lot of former co-workers and even some relatives I'd lost track of!</p>Jen commented on 'Four Ways LinkedIn Can Help Your Career'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e2011571e76d26970b2009-07-09T22:11:29Z2009-07-09T22:11:29ZJenI recently got linkedin to build my network as a recent grad.

I really love the professionalism it provides for communicating your own personal brand. Another site that I use is joined.com that is focused on building profiles and networking for youthful career seekers.</p>Karl commented on 'Four Ways LinkedIn Can Help Your Career'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e2011570f1d050970c2009-07-09T17:44:24Z2009-07-09T17:44:24ZKarlhttp://www.linkedin.com/in/karljlarsenMC, It all depends on what someone shares publicly.

<p>It all depends on what someone shares publicly. My public LinkedIn page has pretty much the same information as my resume excluding address and phone number.<br />

<p>Everytime I do a Google search for someone and find someone on Linked in, there is nothing at all listed there--only their name. Sometimes some former places where they (might have) worked, but no dates about when they worked there or anything useful at all. No picture, no address, no resume, no nothing.</p>
