Very useful, even for a wider target audience,
This DVD provides a series of very clear step-by-step overviews of actions to take in order to get the maximum out of LinkedIn as part of a job search. Each step is clearly explained so that even people unfamiliar with LinkedIn or similar sites should be able to follow along without trouble. As a bonus, author Jason Alba has a pleasant voice which makes the narration friendly and down-to-earth.
I have used several other LinkedIn resources, including Jason Alba’s own book and blog, and I’m employed, not looking. Yet I still found value in the tutorials, and I took several new actions to connect with people and improve my profile.
The only reason I give it four stars and not five is that I’m conflicted on the issue of value for the money. I received the DVD as part of a promotion upon renewing my membership on Mr. Alba’s JibberJobber.com, so I definitely got very good value for my money. If you are just getting started with LinkedIn, and particularly if you have little time to devote to learning how LI works (or if you are less computer-savvy), you would also get a lot of value for the money; whether you would get enough for $50 depends on income and what you’re trying to get out of LinkedIn.
For example, if you’re in the LinkedIn target “executive” bracket and this DVD helps you get a job even one week faster, then it’s well worth it. Same for entrepreneurs who get a single contract through LinkedIn thanks to the help of these tutorials. But if you’re say, a young biologist or engineer or IT professional with many other pressing expenses and not that much income, this may be too expensive for you. Similarly, if you’re good at exploring applications on your own and have the time to do so, then you may not want to pay this much.
For my part, I did get good value but if I was just laid off and had to prioritize I would put the money into getting Mr. Alba’s book “I’m on LinkedIn — Now What??” in PDF format, and a few months’ subscription to the premium version of JibberJobber.

|Don’t sign up for LinkedIn without this!,
Today, everyone needs to have a crisp, clear online presence! This is particularly true for LinkedIn. Whether you are a job seeker or a networker (which we all should be doing), this DVD shows you the path towards LinkedIn clarity. Because it is presented in small bites, you have the opportunity to upgrade your LI presence in manageable bites as well. Alba has many specific suggestions for improving your online persona, and explains them very well. This is a must-have for LI users!Alba’s other creations include an online contact management system (better than ACT!), so he really knows his stuff!

|A Virtual Tour through LinkedIn,
If you’re looking to grow your network “organically” and “meaningfully” using the web, LinkedIn just might the right tool for you.
But where do you start? Easy…with this DVD.
The DVD is a series of 16 short video clips, ranging from a three or four minutes up to 12 or 13 minutes. It covers all the major sections of LinkedIn along with some cool tips and tricks easily overlooked by most newcomers.
What I like best is I can review any of the segments quickly and easily and then jump onto LinkedIn and execute the concept.
Books on LinkedIn are fine; this is like having a private one-on-one tutorial in your home. Pretty cool!
