What’s up, y’all. I hope you’ve all had a good week so far and are looking forward to a relaxing weekend…because I know I am 
I wanted to give y’all a quick entry before I hop on a plane in the morning and head back to Old Nassau (i.e. Princeton University) to attend this year’s Reunions festivities. This will be my first time there in five years, so it feels pretty weird to be going back. But, it’ll be nice to catch up with folks and it should also be a good way to get about 200 more photos of myself tagged on Facebook by the end of the week. I might just have to write a few summary entries about the events while I’m there…we’ll see if I have enough energy for all of that though.
The article below is from the good folks over at GottaMentor.com and, as soon as I saw it, I knew that I had to share it with all of you. With the economy being so shaky and so many people looking for work, this article is very timely. The article provides nine tips for how to effectively leverage LinkedIn to get the perfect job. By now, i’m sure that many of you are members of LinkedIn, but are you really using it as effectively as you could? If not, check out this article. And, if you think you’re using it well, I’d recommend reading the article anyway because I found it useful after having been on LinkedIn for years. I didn’t copy the entire article, but posted a quick excerpt and provided the link. Hope you guys enjoy it.

Introductory paragraph from article:
“If you are in the market for a job, especially if you have at least several years of work experience, you should be taking advantage of the significant benefits LinkedIn can bring to your job search, including warm leads into companies or to people you are targeting, the possibility of creating new job leads through recruiters who frequently use the site or people who are impressed with comments you post on the site, and access to posted and unposted job openings. So how do you take advantage of LinkedIn if you’re a job seeker?” (The nine steps follow this in the article)
