I really like what Clark Howard says in his article on CNN.com, What To Do If You’re Laid Off. I want to share it with you.
What I learned from the article: I had never heard of LaidOffCamp — love it!
One thing Clark forgot to mention: LinkedIn. Maybe because he’s assuming everyone already knows about it and knows how to use it. But that’s not the case. I have career coaching clients who are networking on LinkedIn for the first time after our first session. LinkedIn is critical to finding TARGETED contacts, possible mentors and EVEN a job that is posted and listed through the many online groups you can join on the site.
I’ve hosted a free “How to use LinkedIn to find a job” telecass a couple of months ago. Time for another one?
Please let me know if you’re interested in that and I’ll set something up with one of my affiliated career coaches — comment below or email me at brian@briankurth.com if you are interested and I’ll set something up….
Cheers!

There are a number of LinkedIn instruction videos on YouTube. For example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzT3JVUGUzM
