- Phoenix-Mesa, AZ (1888PressRelease) November 04, 2010 - LinkedIn now has 80 million members, which makes it the most important networking site for professionals on the Web. It also makes it the first place where chief executives and hiring managers look for fresh talent and resources to solve business-critical problems. However, few executives really know how to use LinkedIn effectively to be found and to forge new connections. In the November session of Experts Connection (www.experts-connection.com), Jason Alba, founder and CEO of JibberJobber.com and author of "I'm On Linked-In - Now What???," will discuss how to get the most out of LinkedIn, including how to be found, how to find other business-critical contacts, and how to present yourself as an expert in your field.
