Kate- When we saw each other last Wednesday, you said you'd send me your new
e-mail address and as far as I know I still don't have it. I'd like to keep in
touch.
Hope you are well and happy,
Jessa Drury

Subject: [ats-employment] February 27th Workshop + more
To all of those who attended the Workshop today (and all of those who could
not!)
We hope that you enjoyed today's presentation by Brian Basham. I wish to
thank you for your active participation. Someone made the observation that we
learn from one another. they were so correct. The questions you posed were
thoughtful and relevant. We learn much from YOU.
As mentioned, we encourage you to use this forum to keep in touch. share your
successes and ask questions of one another.
Today I received a "blog" from one of my colleagues. She is writing
specifically for Recruiters. She should know what she is talking about.. She
is a Senior Recruiter for Levi Strauss. She is also my "go-to" person if I
have a question about LinkedIn. If you have not joined yet, please do so. The
rewards are many. This particular Recruiter uses LinkedIn to locate candidates
for positions at Levi's. I took the liberty of "lifting" one of her items from
today's Blog. It may be something you wish to consider to enhance your profile
(remembering that many Recruiters will do just that.. Check YOU out before they
approach you with an opportunity. (See below) I know I am going to take her
advice!
Need a Recommendation?
If you are a user of LinkedIn, you may know about a section where you ask
former colleagues or friends to write a recommendation. If you are not familiar
with this section, a recommendation is the same thing as a reference, only
shorter and permanent since it's in print and out there for the world to see.
It's a nice little feature that LinkedIn provides and it gives us Recruiters
something nice to read while we peruse your profile. I highly recommend that
if you have a profile on LinkedIn, ask a few people to write you a
recommendation. Especially if that certain someone is a former manager or
colleague. The idea is to have someone attest to your work, again, it's the
same thing as a reference. Do not ask someone who does not know you all that
well. Another plus? I and many Recruiters use LinkedIn as our data base from
which to recruit candidates. One of the first areas of interest for me is the
"Recommendations" feature. It tells me something about how the persons work is
viewed by others.
Best,
Kate
