5 out of 5 stars Great Networking book!   January 24, 2010

This book really gets to the heart of the networking matter. This book works! I have used this book in various seminars and have really helped those who tend to be shy network in a very postive and rapid manner using the tools in this book. For those of you who are introverts, this book guides you to network in your "comfort zone".

A must read for those of you who have difficulty networking!

5 out of 5 stars A Most Timely & Practical How-To Book   February 2, 2010

"HOW TO FIND A JOB on LINKEDIN, FACEBOOK, TWITTER, MySPACE" is a tremendous book that is not only timely, but practical too because it shows you the nuts and bolts of each major social network of the title and how you can make the most of these networks to get a job. Today, social networking is big and keeps on growing. Here, the authors (Brad & Deb) take you by the hand to let you know about each network and how to make the most of it and potentially find a job. This book has ten chapters, and so I am blogging about this book on my website Great Documents Dot Net ([...]). I hope to share my ideas about each chapter with my blog readers so they can maximize their experience with this book. Kudos to Brad & Deb for a great book!

This is it--the definitive book on finding a job using social and professional networking sites. This book covers all of the most important features of the most popular websites. If you want "just the facts, ma'am," you've come to the right place. In easily accessible prose, Debra and Brad give you the background for do-it-yourself profile posting that gets the word out to recruiters in the most effective way. Even if you've never used a networking site before, by reading this book, you will feel like an old pro the first time out!


5 out of 5 stars The game has changed. Brad & Deb wrote the play ook.   October 22, 2009

Yes, the game we all call "Finding a Job" has changed, and I'm thrilled that Brad & Deb Schepp have written the definitive playbook on how to come out a winner. I'm old enough to remember when Timothy Leary told us to TURN ON, TUNE IN and DROP OUT. In their new book, Brad & Deb present vignettes of real individuals who were TURNED ON (by the potential of social networks), TUNED IN (to Twitter, LinkedIn FaceBook and other social networks), and FOUND OUT (about otherwise unadvertised job opportunities). Like a good coach, Brad & Deb present step-by-step guidance on how to use social networking to your best advantage when navigating the playing field. Just for a minute, pretend their book is the ball. Pick it up and run with it.

A really good walk through on LinkedIn and social media in general. It's practical in it's advice and brings together many schools of thought on this rapidly expanding communication medium.

Don't be fooled by it's title, this is way more than just a job finding tool. It's your quick guide to effectively use social networks for a wide range of objectives.
