LinkedIn Profiles: Avoid the 6 Most Common Mistakes

In the midst of the recession, many job seekers have spent more time on LinkedIn
to connect with colleagues, customers and partners in an effort to land a new
gig. Unfortunately, many people commit common errors in their LinkedIn profiles
that cost them new opportunities, says Jason Alba, CEO of JibberJobber, a
company that provides web-based tools for managing your job search.

Steps to On-Time, On-Budget Project Delivery

Businesses of all sizes embark on thousands of projects for new products and
services every year. Unfortunately, most projects are doomedto fail outright, or
at launch, because the original success criteria were not met. Some project
failures lead to delays in product launches, such as the AirBus A380; others,
like Boston's Big Dig, incur huge cost overruns. These examples, as well as the
results from survey after survey, show that American businesses have not been
able to figure out how to consistently get products and services delivered on
time, on budget and with the highest quality.

end, you want to minimize the number of solutions needed in-house to simplify
