Perhaps you’ve been looking for awhile now and nothing seems to be happening…or, you’re unhappy in your current situation and ready to get serious about making yourself more marketable.

We’re prepared to help you…for FREE!

Come to The Wooden Group’s one-hour “Get Hired” workshop every Thursday at noon where we’ll discuss how you can improve your marketability,  make your resume stand out,  figure out the best way to network, improve your interviewing skills…and more!

We cover all aspects of a job search.  Workshop content is largely driven by you – the attendee.  So bring your questions!

LinkedIn (LI) has become the primary online professional social networking site.  While I could talk for several hours on how to effectively arrange your profile and also how to use LI in your job search, in this piece I want to focus on your LinkedIn personal URL.

Consider including it on your resume and personal business card.  Further, look at your URL.  Does it contain several random letters and/or numbers? 

If so, click edit and “rename” yourself.  Here’s mine:  http://www.linkedin.com/in/randywooden  

Make your URL as close to your real name as is possible.  LI will tell you whether your choice has already been taken.

Now that you have a user friendly URL, also include it in your email signature. If you’re in the job hunt, invite me to connect with you.
