Novato, CA, March 07, 2009 --(PR.com)-- LinkedIn and Facebook have become the online hang-outs where corporate decision-makers go looking for experts, including experienced talent to hire. In the next session of Experts Connection (www.experts-connection.com), “LinkedIn and Facebook Essentials for Executives: Using Both Platforms as Professional Networking Tools,” Jason Alba, well-known career author and founder of JibberJobber.com, will explain how to make the most of LinkedIn and Facebook for professional networking and show executives how they can be found by hiring managers.

How best to connect with your LinkedIn network and maintain relationships;
How to use the LinkedIn search features for executive job search;

The best way to get the “right” recommendations on your LinkedIn profile;
How to create a compelling Facebook profile;

Connection strategies for both LinkedIn and Facebook.
