Preorder the LinkedIn for Job Seekers DVD here.
I read a great post by Laurie Berenson that talks about how sometimes we fool ourselves into thinking that just because we are on LinkedIn (and Facebook and Twitter) we think we are doing a lot of networking.
The post is titled Don't get ...

Over on the Career Resumes blog I just wrote about some of the bad stuff I'm hearing about with regard to LinkedIn.
