FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Career Insurance Makes Unemployment Insurance Look Like Child's Play
The #1 fear at work isn't loss of a job. The root cause of daily anxiety attacks at work is abrupt loss of all income associated with a job. As they walk each person being laid off to the front door, managers put their arm around people telling them "you are a valued employee". That's a frightening scenario still being played out today. Implementing a career insurance plan, which includes developing alternate sources of income, is crucial to career management survival.
New York, NY February 20, 2011 8:00AM EST—Tune into to YOUR CAREER IS CALLING, broadcast on www.1077TheBronc.com from Rider University. Chief Savvy Intrapreneur Carl E. Reid, CSI, presents “Alternate Sources of Income and Why You Need Them”
YOUR CAREER IS CALLING radio show co-hosted by Rod Colon, author of Win the Race for 21st Century Jobs and Frank Kovacs, founder of TheBreakfastClubNJ.com will be discussing with guest speaker Carl E. Reid, CSI why the best time to develop part time supplemental income is Now.
When I left my corporate job, some people in my family could not believe it – states Carl E. Reid, Business Career Coach, Chief Savvy Intrapreneur at SAVVY INTRAPRENEUR and Chief Operations Officer at Empowering Today's Professionals. “What about job security, they asked?”…well, what about it? Who says my corporate job would be there long term? If my “day job” were to disappear, what would happen? Not much, really. I would lose a source of income, but I have other sources of income to sustain me and my family”.
Mr. Reid further explains, "This is crucial to survival, as part of a career back up plan. It makes all the difference between making a living and LIVING LIFE". "With current economic conditions students, recent grads, home makers and career professionals need creative strategies for developing alternate sources of income. This definitely provides career insurance, as a part of any career management backup plan. The result can pay continuous dividends, while providing peace of mind for families. This is way better than temporary unemployment insurance."

Testimonials from previous attendees . . .
"Yesterday was the first meeting that I have attended, and I must commend you (and the rest of the group) on a very enjoyable and worthwhile meeting. Having others to support you (and to interact with at a professional level), whether you are "in between assignments" (as I like to call it), or "currently working at", is wonderful since it gives the individuals a new perspective on alternatives possibly available to them , by hearing what others are going through in their lives." - Shevi Batsheva Ph.D., Industrial / Organizational Psychology.
"Thanks very much for arranging everything. You did a fantastic job." - Michael Procopio, Web Services Developer.
"What a powerful group, and a great first meeting for me at JSNG. Thank you Rod and Tom for caring and giving so much energy and enthusiasm -- it is contagious.
To everyone: If you all have not read through Tom's LinkedIn FAQs, you probably should. Although I have been in LinkedIn for 3 or 4 years, mostly as a passive user, I have been using LinkedIn heavily the past two weeks since my position was eliminated. It is pretty intuitive, yet can be complex. For example, do you all know that you can simply ask your network a question? I did not until reading Tom's FAQs. ...
In my first meeting with ETP, I learned how to suggest ways I can help others while giving my introduction. I will have a more interesting intro for the group in October." - Bob Zimel, OD and Learning Executive.

REAP is a concept I learned thanks to Jason Alba's JibberJobber Career Management radio show.
Many people get into networking and think it's just a matter of collecting names and contact info for reference later on. Or if you are in a job search adding to the list of people you can nag or beg for a job.

The LinkedIn (add-on) applications feature was added on October 28th, 2008. Although LinkedIn applications have been available for a while many may not be aware of them. There are currently 10 applications and I have grouped them into 5 categories below.

Have you searched for your name on LinkedIn to assure you don't have multiple profiles?
I've found that about 1% of my first degree connections have duplicate LinkedIn profiles. It is very easy for this to happen when you are new to LinkedIn and have not added all your valid email addresses to your first account.
Below is a link to an excellent blog post regarding how to eliminate multiple LinkedIn accounts:

LinkedIn wants to assure they keep the spammers out of their system. Thus they put in place many safe guards. One of them being the "I Don't Know" you button in response to receiving an invite. It only takes 5 people to click this button to get your account locked. To get your account unlocked you'll need to click the link at the button of a LinkedIn page for Customer Service and submit a question to plead your case. Realize that once you are this situation you are at LinkedIn's mercy and it will take a while, probably days, to get a response.
Once you do get unlocked you're going to need to be extremely careful as they may not unlock you a second time. Once unlocked, you may even want to withdraw old invitations to reduce the risk of getting locked out of LinkedIn a second time.
When you wish to establish a connection on LinkedIn. It would be best to contact the person outside of LinkedIn (in person, telephone, email) and ask if they are open to receiving a LinkedIn invite. However, if you've lost touch and don't have any way of contacting the person outside of LinkedIn you should customized the text of the invitation. Realize that you may remember the person better then they remember you. Thus it is best to send a personalized message reminding the person how you know each other. You certainly shouldn't write a book, but you should mention not only the company, school or organization, but also some details to help refresh their memory. For example, I once worked on many different projects in a company with over 100K employees. Somebody saying they know me from that company might not help me recall them!
Another best practice is to never use the default canned invite message. Doing such seems to indicate an impersonal attempt to establish a connection, that might not to develop into a warm trusted relationship. Considering that you did not take the time to personalized your invitation.
LinkedIn makes it easy to import your E-mail address book from many different sources. Once LinkedIn has your address book you can broadcast invites to all or a selection of the imported list. This is how people often get their accounts locked, because they don't realize the number of people they have in their address book that are just acquaintances that will likely press the "I Don't Know" you button. Although this is import feature may be a quick and easy way to build your network on LinkedIn it is very dangerous due to the risk of getting your account locked, but in addition you're blasting a generic impersonal message to everybody as well.
It may be time consuming, but connecting with one individual at a time in a personalized custom manner is always a best practice of professional networking. The investment in time is well worth the rewards you'll receive in the future, from your warm trusted network.
