NETWORKING - Via LinkedIn - Prioritizing Contacts
Here is a good way to look at your LINKEDIN network (as related to any job search). The percentages are arbitrary but you will get the idea:
- 75% of them are PERIPHERL. I have ran into these people once or twice but really didn't have the time to maintain the relationship.
- 20% of them are STRONG and you should have no issue letting them know that you are looking for new opportunities. You have had frequent interaction and have established a good relationship.
- 5% of them are SUPREME. This is reserved for people who are valued colleagues, but good friends and mentors.

SPECIAL NOTE: I am now taking on speaking engagements to groups as well as accepting invitations to critique resumes, cover letters and LinkedIn profiles at trade shows, workshops, seminars and various other events. Please contact me at ajbresumes@gmail.com for more details.
