Linkedin Blogger

Linkedin intrigues me! And when I think deeply about it, Linkedin EXCITES me! Though it's an online networking business platform, the blogging on Linkedin Blogger won't be limited to just blogging about the business value of Linkedin's 350 Million users but also about things that can best be described under the heading, "Hmmmm, I didn't know that!" If you like LinkedinBlogger.Blogspot.com as much as I do, you are invited to submit your, "Hmmmm’s", to the Linkedin Blogger, too!

[LinkedinBlogger] My Linkedin Power Forum is del.icio.us! :-)

My Linkedin Power Forum is del.icio.us! :-) For those of you who use del.icio.us to keep track of your bookmarks/bookmarklets, please visit us here: http://del.icio.us/MyLinkedinPowerForum Please NOTE: The del.icio.us URL does not have a .com or .edu etc., associated with its address. For those of you not yet familiar with this intriguing little bit of technology, below is a brief overview from del.icio.us: About del.icio.us "» del.icio.us is a social bookmarks manager. It allows you to easily add sites you like to your personal collection of links, to categorize those sites with keywords, and to share your collection not only between your own browsers and machines, but also with others. » Once you've registered for the service, you add a simple bookmarklet to your browser (see below). When you find a web page you'd like to add to your list, you simply select the del.icio.us bookmarklet, and you'll be prompted for a information about the page. You can add descriptive terms to group similar links together, modify the title of the page, and add extended notes for yourself or for others. » You can access your list of links from any web browser. By default, your links are shown to you in reverse chronological order, with those you've added most recently at the top. In addition to viewing by date, you can also view all links in a specific category (you define your own categories as you add the links), or search your links for keywords. » What makes del.icio.us a social system is its ability to let you see the links that others have collected, as well as showing you who else has bookmarked a specific site. You can also view the links collected by others, and subscribe to the links of people whose lists you find interesting."

[LinkedinBlogger] Givers Gain + MyJobGenius is now MyJobTIGER!

On June 17th, I was surprised by a gift to me of a 3 year old, 620 member jobs group on Yahoo called MyJobGenius. Because I still have an inordinately high level of passion for recruiting and coaching, I gladly accepted the jobs group. Imagine! With all the groups I've given away, someone gave ME a group!:-) I changed the group's name to MyJobTIGER in order to help motivate job seekers to help themselves by focusing on one of my favorite acronymic mantras: Today, I'll Get Even Richer! I created this little acronym to foster a mentality that has nothing to do with greed - but everything to do with prospering in your career and in your life. I’ve made the name change not merely because of new ownership of the group but because of the great importance of attitude in conducting a timely and successful job search for you and your family. Your job search is no time to be timid, meek, shy, a lamb. Today, you must focus, focus, focus on finding the right opportunity for you and your family. You must be more assertive than you may have been comfortable being in the past. And while this may not be comfortable for you to contemplate, as an experienced recruiter and career coach, I've seen too many wonderfully talented people miss out on great career opportunities by not trying their best – every day – for at least 4 hours per day. Your job search must be your job until your search finds you a job. You should work at it with the same assertiveness, professionalism, concentration, and intensity of purpose as you would if you were working as an apprentice for Donald Trump. You must be relentless. You must be focused. You must be strong. You must be a tiger. And you must motivate yourself by saying things to yourself such as, "Today, I'll Get Even Richer. Today, I'll be a TIGER in my job search! (NOTE: We know about those professionals who don't like the word "must". But let's be realistic for a moment: You MUST ignore them until you get the job you MUST have in order to pay the rent. Once you have that job, you, too, can become a person who no longer believes in "must".) Please visit the Files area for complementary databases and career search materials. We encourage you to join and invite friends and co-workers to join us by sending an email to: myjobtiger-subscribe@yahoogroups.com This is one of the few non-Linkedin-specific groups I own. It is NOT to compete with either Linkedin nor with My Linkedin Power Forum. Indeed, I see them working quite nicely together. If it desires to do so, Linkedin management is also encouraged to share jobs there, too. It is not a socializing group. It is only for people who are ready to do the hard work to find the right job. Therefore, responsible recruiters are welcomed to post jobs there. Those things being said, because I really want to help people get jobs in shorter time frames, the email volume on MyJobTIGER, in all likelihood, will be LOTS HIGHER than on My Linkedin Power Forum!! Thanks, and "Go get 'em, T.I.G.E.R."! Vincent Wright Creator/Moderator, My Linkedin Power Forum SKYPE = WrightWayCoaching Thanks!

Linkedin: Much Ado About A Million Or Two

A Brief Meditative Contemplation About Extraordinary Potential

I think Linkedin is better than Linkedin thinks it is.

Surprising statement perhaps. But bear with me for a moment.

You see I believe I look at Linkedin a bit differently than most people do.

I haven’t talked with Linkedin about specific numbers and I intentionally didn’t invest the time to do exhaustive research on specific numbers.

Those two things aside, let’s take some very broad numbers and contemplate some things that make them worth considering. Things that make you go, “Hmmmm!!!” At least they do that for me! :-)

If we say that Linkedin is a networking environment for business professionals and then say that the average Linkedin member has 10 years of experience and then say that there are now 2.5 million users, that’s a total of 25 MILLION YEARS OF WORK EXPERIENCE!

Sitting there.

Sort of like oil fields, or goldmines, or spice islands, or “acres of diamonds”.

Just sitting there.

Hmmmm!!!

Correct me if I’m wrong, but if my memory serves me correctly, I believe it only took 962 person years to build New York’s Empire Station Building.

If there are 25 Million years worth of experience on Linkedin, that could mean:

hundreds of thousands of years of business building experience
thousands of years of artistic experience
thousands of years of computer experience
thousands of years of entertainment experience
thousands of years of medical experience
thousands of years of nonprofit experience
thousands of years of scientific experience
thousands upon thousands of years of communication experience
thousands upon thousands of years of executive leadership experience
thousands upon thousands of years of problem resolution experience
hundreds of thousands of years of teaching & coaching & counseling experience
MILLIONS of years of networking experience

Hmmmm!!! I wonder what would happen if those thousands, if those hundreds of thousands, if those thousands upon thousands, if those MILLIONS of years of experience could talk, could communicate, could be put to SOME USE?

I wonder and I wonder and I wonder!!!

Hmmmm!!!

My Linkedin Power Forum Announces My Linkedin Power TEAM!

Yahoo! Groups : MyLinkedinPowerForum Messages : Message 1555 of 1570: "Announces
My Linkedin Power Team
4.18.2005

In the spirit of networking, I am happy to announce the creation of a small group to help in the growth, nurturance, and direction of My Linkedin Power Forum!

This group will help in the creation of guiding principles, documentation, and polls to help My Linkedin Power Forum reach consensus of opinion on matters pertaining to Linkedin, networking in general, and My Linkedin Power Forum in particular.

The team will help us maximize the great window of opportunity we have to nurture our careers and businesses via Linkedin.

Konstantin Guericke has not only given his blessing to the creation of the new leadership team but has offered to do a teleconference with the group on Wednesday, April 27th at 3 PM PST. (The group membership will be finalized by then and will be announced here. However, there�s still room for one or two more so please let me know if you have 2+ hours a month to help out.)

I�m hoping that this will turn into a �dream team� of Linkedin evangelists and networking generalists to help us power up our networking through the best usage of My Linkedin Power Forum.

THANKS!
