I began this course without putting much thought into the
communication skills I would need for my future job searches. While the entire course was informative, the
last three modules have been incredibly eye-opening for me. There are several
things I’ve learned that can be applied to my personal situation.
First, I am grateful for the information and videos that
enforced the benefits of joining LinkedIn.
Several business contacts have invited me to join them, but I continually
declined the invitations, thinking it would not be a good use of my time. The videos that gave tips on networking
within the site and explained the benefits of joining extra groups would be a
great benefit to anyone that is unemployed and looking for a job within a
specific field. I look forward to
expanding my network on this site immediately.
The second thing I was surprised to learn about was the voice thread
option online. I already use the www.freeconferencecall.com website
for conference calls, but this opportunity gives many more options for those
that can’t make a specific time work for everyone. The most beneficial information I received
through these modules would be the interview tips, online employment resources
such as www.monster.com , and multiple social
networking sites. I believe the internet
has challenged employment seekers to put forth their best efforts throughout
the interview process and gaining understanding in this area will put them
above the masses. I know it has certainly challenged the way I
have been doing things. Watch out for me
now!
