Bernards Township Library

32 South Maple Avenue

Basking Ridge, NJ

Please feel free to circulate this announcement widely!

"Excel in Interviews"

Moderators: Alex Freund, Laura Goddard, John Hadley

Everything in your career search comes together in one critical moment -
when you are meeting face-to-face with a hiring manager in a job
interview. This is the most important meeting you can have, the make or
break point.

You can excel at presenting yourself in writing, engaging people at
networking events, securing referrals from contacts, and navigating
around the various gatekeepers, but if you don't know how to turn
interviews into offers, all will come to naught.

Join us on November 19th as we continue to share simple techniques and
give you a chance to practice and refine your interview skills in a safe
environment. Don't let the interviews that matter be your "practice"
interviews!

ALEX FREUND: Landing Expert Career Coaching services
(http://www.LandingExpert.com <http://www.LandingExpert.com> ).

LAURA GODDARD: Helps companies achieve their revenue goals through

LinkedIn Tip: New LinkedIn Feature "Following"

From LinkedIn.

Look who´s following you across Groups on LinkedIn
Posted: 06 Nov 2009 06:08 PM PST

A couple days ago, we launched several new features aimed at enhancing the professional conversation in LinkedIn groups. We call one of those features "following".
Following makes it easier for you to see contributions made by your connections and other people you value within your groups. To get you started, you´re already following all of your connections and they´re following you. But it doesn´t stop with your connections: to follow someone who is not a connection, just click "Follow Their Name" under their name on a discussion page or on the Member page in your group.

Now when you go to your My Groups page, you´ll see updates about what the specific people you´re following have contributed to the groups you share. Updates from the people you´re following (and your updates to the people who are following you) also appear on the Overview page of each group you share. All of this makes it faster and easier to interact with your own personal "group within the group."
For more information about Following, check out our FAQ.
Go ahead, check out your groups and start following!Posted in New Features, Product Features
