Widening your horizons
One the most effective ways to jet work is through establishing a web of contacts. And since many people are now relying on the internet for their business needs, you can expand your network of contacts by joining LinkedIn, a professional networking website.
LinkedIn is much like sites like Facebook and MySpace – you upload a picture, make a profile, and add people you know to your network. The big difference though is that the people you’re adding are professional contacts – people you may have worked with in the past or are still working with at the present. What’s more, LinkedIn has a unique recommendation feature that lets other people recommend you for a job well done. Having more recommendations naturally mean that more employers (big and small) will prefer enlisting your services compared to others who don’t.
