Graduate to Linkedin: Jumpstart Your Career Network Now John Fowler

The situation is bleak. Over 80% of jobs opportunities are never advertised, and the average job hunt can take more than six months to complete. But, in the midst of this, a growing group of people are taking advantage of the business networking site LinkedIn to find jobs or propel their already established careers. Unfortunately, with one million new people joining every month, there are still under three million college students on LinkedIn. The group that could benefit the most from this useful resource is the same group underutilizing it to the greatest degree. Best-selling author and publisher Melissa Giovagnoli wants to change that. Teaming up with co-author and professional development consultant John Fowler, Melissa wrote "Graduate to LinkedIn" specifically to educate college students and young professionals about the opportunities available on LinkedIn. But there's more to this book than simply a set of LinkedIn instructions; Melissa and John offer sage-advice for building meaningful relationships, bringing value to the world, and chasing your dream career path. What are you waiting for? Get LinkedIn! Note: Half of all the proceeds the authors make from this book go into initiatives that help college students and graduates get better starts in their careers. Melissa's initiative called "Leadership 20-29" is just one of a number of initiatives the authors are helping through book sales, free products, coaching and speaking. This book has been specially priced for this purpose.
