What is one piece of advice you would give to a jobseeker?
LinkedIn tips: Network with people in your desired field. Connect with people on LinkedIn, and send a personalized message with one way in which you can add value to him/her. Post & Comment on LinkedIn regularly, these are easy and great ways to build your network.
