What You Need to Know About LinkedIn, with author Wayne Breitbarth

OK, I'm starting with a Pop Quiz today so are you ready? Here we go....

LinkedIn is:

• A. For people trying to find a job.
• B. For people trying to fill a job opening.
• C. For accepting invitations from people who are connecting with you because they're trying to find a job!
• D. Probably for people like me but I just don't have the time.

Which option would you pick? The nice thing about this quiz is there's no single correct answer. LinkedIn and other social networking tools can be used in seemingly countless ways. But more often than not, I hear coaching clients and participants in workshops and keynotes tell me they know they should likely be investing more time learning and using LinkedIn. The problem is they just don't seem to have the time.

In this episode I'm going to share a conversation I had recently with Wayne Breitbarth, author of The Power Formula for Linkedin Success: Kick-start Your Business, Brand, and Job Search. Wayne is my favorite expert on LinkedIn and I know you'll enjoy his insights.
