(Comment on the Barack Obama FB page) If you
wanted to work for "us, the people", why do you continue
to place fundraisers ahead of real issues. You couldn't
even visit the border in Texas and see the travesty
yourself. Instead you hide behind speeches that say one
thing yet you do nothing. IMPEACH!

• …YOU are missing potential job-seeking resources.
• It is a sad lose-lose situation…

Introductions
• Some people on LinkedIn do not allow people not already at least a 2nd level contact to request to connect directly.
• Introductions allow your contacts to “introduce” you to another person.
This is also good if you want to contact with a senior HR or Hiring Manager—it is best to go through a contact you both already know, much like having a company employee hand your resume to the Hiring Manager or HR…
