If you are a sales professional or want to become one, or if you are looking for a new sales job, you will face one of the toughest interview processes of any job seeker.
Dear Peggy,
I can’t keep up with all the requests on LinkedIn, Plaxo, and now Naymz. Which one is the most important? Can I let the others slide?
I get this question all the time. Jobseekers in healthcare sales sometimes think, “if one online profile is worthy, five of them must be great”. Not true–it’s more important to have one really great, active profile than several mediocre ones you can’t keep up with. I really think that LinkedIn is the best social network for jobseekers. Then Facebook. But as a clinical revenue recruiter, I consider LinkedIn one of my best resources.
Here’s my LinkedIn page: Www.linkedin.com/in/peggymckee
And my Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/peggy.mckee
Yes, I do have a Twitter handle @salesrecruiter and a MySpace page, but I just don’t think the value is there for the jobseeker.
