Do you ever ask yourself: "Should I Use LinkedIn?"
According to the company's website, LinkedIn is the world's largest professional network. It's like Facebook without the steroids. With a strong LinkedIn profile, you increase your chances of being noticed by top companies and professionals through bypassing all of the ho-hum profiles and rising to the top of the Search Results.
Bottom line - the stronger your profile the higher your ranking.
Not only are you allowing your professional information accessible to major companies, you are also creating a network for yourself that will strengthen your list of contacts. Have you ever heard someone say "it's all in who you know"? While this is not always true- I mean you don't want to take away from your spectacular talent and good genes- you still want to build the foundation that will hopefully put you in front of the right person to land your dream job.
Another advantage to linking in with LinkedIn (sorry, I couldn't resist that one) is the ability to stay in front of the competition. Did you know that a new term was coined last year thanks to the millions of LinkedIn users? The word is "ninja" and it does not involve throwing star blades or wearing a black mask. I challenge you, Daniel son, to Google the phrase.
There are many advantages to using LinkedIn other than setting up a professional profile. Tools like Answers and Groups let you locate and interact with experts through trusted introduction. LinkedIn Search lets you explore the broader network by name, title, company, location, and other keywords that will help you find the knowledge you're looking for.
Regardless if you are looking for a career opportunity, building a client database or establishing your own professional reputation, LinkedIn will help get you to your goal.

Hunt Refining Company Co-Op Interviews
Hunt Refining Company will be conducting Co-Op interviews Wednesday, April 7, 2010 from 8 A.M. to Noon in the Volkert Conference Room located on the 3rd Floor of the Martin Campus.
Thanks to those who attended the workshop last evening!
The Career Services Center hosted its first workshop last night and the evening seemed to be a successful event full of handshakes, dialogue, and table graces.
Ms. Deborah Reynolds led the event in the Workforce Development Center Conference Room. The students were able to practice their table manners while dining with college instructors and administrators.
The room was transformed into an elegant dining hall with five large round tables as the focal point. Ms. Reynolds was able to use the sympodium and projector in the room to coach the students along using a Powerpoint presentation while they sat with their host and discussed the course in front of them.
The meal was prepared by Poppy's catering company, A Tavola!, which served Cream of Mushroom Soup and Salad to begin. Then Herb Roasted Chicken, Garlic Mashed Potatoes and a Vegetable Medley were followed by a tasty Bread Pudding. The students were able to experience proper dinnerware mechanics at each phase of the meal.
Acting as host of each table were several employees of the College who have had personal practice with dining etiquette. The hosts were as follows: Dr. Graham Hatcher, Dr. Fran Turner, Mrs. Concetta Odongo, Mr. Mike Fields, and Mr. Anderson Walker.
