The ETP Network has free weekly teleconference calls to help professionals improve their job search and career management skills. For details please view http://www.etpnetwork.com/
On last night's call during the Q&A segment Rod Colon discussed the importance of advocates during your job search and how to utilize LinkedIn relating to introductions to potential advocates. If you missed the call, a recording is available to CEO members of the ETP Network.
Rod has often discussed the importance of having a warm trusted network. This morning I was really pleased to find that the experts at LinkedIn agree with this ETP principal.
There is a very good NetworkWorld article titled "LinkedIn tips: How many connections is too many?" which is available at http://www.networkworld.com/news/2008/101508-linkedin-tips-how-many-connections.html
The article contains three points as to why a trusted network is important:
1 - linking with any and every body may devalue your endorsement value during introductions,
2 - who you connect to may contribute or devalue your professional credibility,
3 - when in a job search your warm trusted connections are the individuals that you can truly depend on for assistance.
