CURIOSITY
If you're one of those who has "never heard of it" or one of those who has "been on it for years," I'm happy to help you with your LinkedIn questions.
CONTEXT
I can break down the complexities of LinkedIn, the number 1 social networking site for professionals and job seekers, as they pertain to YOUR goals. So, less "teach me about LinkedIn" in a general sense, and more, "I'm in a particular situation/have a specific end-goal, what can LinkedIn do for me/what am I doing wrong?" in a tailored sense.
Although, I totally welcome less specific questions as well.
CONTENT
Once we identify YOUR goals, I can make recommendations to populate your profile and participate in various engagement activities. This includes pointing out typos, less-than-deal online behavior, etc.
CONTACTS
Happy to connect on LinkedIn and introduce you to contacts in my professional networks.

Availability & Preferences
Asynchronous communication preferred (so I have time to think about your situation, look at your profile, do some brief analysis/research), but usually most responsive during the week. We can also set up a phone call/web session midday or evenings during the week. Weekends, too.
