Sarah graduated from UCLA and got a job at Bear Stearns, but was laid off when the markets collapsed. She struggled to find work during a difficult job market. Sarah updated her resume to a slide format presentation that caught people's attention on LinkedIn. This led to more responses from her connections and better job interviews. Uploading presentations to SlideShare on LinkedIn could help others looking for jobs or business opportunities like it helped Sarah.
