DRUM NEWSLETTER
November 2009 Edition
Thanksgiving is a
time for reflecting on our personal and professional
lives. With the positive outlook for the job market,
consumer spending on the rise and projections for large Wall
Street bonus pay-outs, we
can be thankful for these signs of economic recovery. Although we must
remain optimistic for our professional lives in 2010, it's
necessary to be cognizant of those
in our community who are struggling through 2009.
Please keep in mind that there is no better way
to give thanks and enrich our personal lives than by helping others on
Thanksgiving.

1) Exclusive Linkedin tip - see "Private" profiles without paying LinkedIn $25 using a cute Google trick
LinkedIn tip - find people who are "out of network" without paying $25 to LinkedIn
Sometimes, you search for someone in LinkedIn, but it says "out of network" because they aren't a first, second or third level connection, and LinkedIn won't give you the person's name.  You assume you have to pay LinkedIn $25 in order to see their name. Not true, because you know me.Â
Here's a real life example
 I was talking to a potential client (for social media consulting) at Connecticut Plastics, and she mentioned to me that the owner would be calling me. I didn't hear his name clearly, and it would be awkward if I didn't know him by name when he called.
I did an advanced search on LinkedIn for
Connecticut Plastics owner
and it showed that he had a LinkedIn profile, but he was "out of network", so LinkedIn wouldn't give his name.Â
Cough up 25 bucks? Not yet.
Look in Google using a fancy trick
Â
Realize that Google has most LinkedIn profiles, so the trick is to somehow find them on Google. If you pick some unique string from the info that LinkedIn does show you, and use a special feature of Google called the "site:" feature, (which allows you to just search one site on the Internet), you may find the name and full profile through Google.
I saw the string
Engineer at Alinabal
in his profile and figured that very few other people would have that string in their profile. Therefore, I put it into Google, along with the word owner, using the following magic search string
Engineer at Alinabal owner site:www.linkedin.com
and found the profile in the Google results. I clicked on the link, and LinkedIn showed me the LinkedIn profile page, with name and all.Â
Â
See a 2 minute sample video
If you want to see a 2 minute video that shows exactly how to do it, go to my web site at
http://www.patrickomalley.com/ Âlinkedin- find-out- of-network- profiles- free.html
This technique doesn't work in every case, but it works in a lot of cases. If it works for you, please send me $25 each time.
Pretty cool, huh? Â
Â
An agreement between you and I
I give these tip to my email audience first, and will publish it in a blog in a couple of months, but you get a head start. You also get to be cool by telling your friends how to save $25. I do ask that you don't publish this on the Internet until I put it in my blog at 617-PATRICK Social Media Blog
Â
Happy Thanksgiving, everybody.
Â
 2) Shameless plug

Is Age Discrimination an Issue in Job Search?
Posted by: "Alex Freund" alex@landingexpert.com freundalex

Here is a recent article which might be of interest (or concern) providing
sources of information about you in the cyberspace of which you had no idea
it exists.

Is Age Discrimination an Issue in Job Search?
By Alex Freund, Landing Expert Career Coaching
Many of my clients are concerned that their older age may be a deterrent to
their ability to compete for jobs in the current economic climate. Their
concerns are valid.
While age discrimination is illegal, we all know it exists. So, what can a
job candidate do about it? Answers can fall into three relevant categories.
First, on your résumé it's best to avoid giving the reader an opportunity to
disqualify you because of age. (The résumé reviewer's actual first interest
is to qualify or disqualify you based on your skills.) Therefore, there's no
need to list jobs you had many years ago. The reader's focus is more or less
only on what you did in the past 10 to 15 years. All jobs prior to that can
be lumped under the heading Additional Relevant Experience without
mentioning dates—unless there's something very relevant to the position
you're applying for. And there's no need to mention your year of college
graduation, either.
The second category under age-related concerns is personal appearance. In
most cases, an in-person interviewer can estimate your age within a few
years. Of course there are exceptions, but one is advised to appear younger.
Ask for advice about that from an unbiased and trusted source. In my role as
a career coach, I'm often asked for such suggestions.
The third category concerns learning how to give interview answers that
project youthfulness. Whenever you have the opportunity, mention to the
interviewer that you're physically active. Perhaps you work out five days a
week, or bike in the summer, or enjoy long walks and hiking.
So, these are the best tactics you can take. But what's happening across the
desk? What are the concerns of recruiters, hiring managers, and others
regarding your age? This is what you should be aware of. With today's
technology in the era of the Internet, employers have easy means to find out
a lot about you in addition to--and beyond--your age.
There are numerous paid-for services that provide quite an array of personal
information about you. Some of the services are even free. For example, try
a search for your own name on <http://www.pipl.com/ > www.pipl.com. It's
likely that you'll find there not only disclosure of your age but also your
address, your phone, perhaps your e-mail address, addresses where you lived
previously, and the names of your spouse and children.
Several other common search engines also publicly reveal such personal
information; examples are Google, Facebook, 123People, and Spock. And I'm
sure there are many others revealing a variety of similar personal
information about you. In doing my research for this article, I found that
in some instances, people were able to avoid the unwanted disclosure of such
information, while other people provide ample opportunities for the seeker
to find it.
