Guy Kawasaki on Using LinkedIn

Author and business guru Guy Kawasaki wrote an excellent article on how to use LinkedIn to find a job. The most important point that I found is to develop your network before you need it.

IMHO, although networking is a great way to find your next opportunity, I don't rely on it exclusively. Other things like building your skillset and developing soft skills are important as well.
