Lew Barr, “I attended Viveka’s class on LinkedIn titled “7 Steps to Finding a GREAT Job in a Challenging Market”. I am in my late fifties and while I consider myself computer literate I have not paid much attention to social media sites. I was laid off in August and decided I wanted to learn more about social media to aid me in my non-traditional job search. Viveka’s class was very informative and interesting, she also included some great printed handouts. A few of the topics Viveka’s class covered were how to complete your LinkedIn profile, network building, how to do specific searches, LinkedIn apps, and how to use groups. I am currently in the process of joining a variety of LinkedIn groups that are related to my field of expertise, which will expand my network, thereby increasing my chances of finding a job I will enjoy rather than “a job”. Viveka is a “social media maven” and I would recommend her to anyone who would like to use social media to broaden their horizons. ” Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, Expert
