Great critic Joshua. By the way I did see he responded have you guys been able to connect in real time. You two definitely complement one another, and your passion comes out in your writing. Keep up the great work, Sir.

Craigslists RSS feeds are pretty darn close to real time. I suggest using them as a way of getting under the gun for entry level positions in my book.

Hi Sean, I know about your 15 minute filter rule. I think it’s great and I’ve employed it several times with great mutual success. Connecting on the phone is no substitute for a simple LinkedIn connection.

Hey thanks for reviewing this! I wrote it to be helpful to so many of my friends who were having some trouble finding work, and so far, it holds up pretty well, even given that I wrote it a little while back. Glad to see your thoughts. Thank you. : )

Thanks for sharing this great resource, Joshua. I’m heading over to Chris’ website to download the eBook and pass it along!

I do have a bit of a different take on LinkedIn, however. I have a personal rule that I will not connect with anyone on LinkedIn unless I have had a significant conversation with them. Otherwise, what makes LinkedIn any different than the phone book? Many people ask me to introduce them to one of my contacts. If I don’t know that person I can’t really make a warm introduction. If I can’t make a warm introduction, then what’s the use.

I understand that a lot of people will connect with anyone, but my philosophy and practice are a bit more “discreet” than that.
