It is important for job seekers to establish an online presence on major sites like LinkedIn and Facebook, keep their profiles up to date, join relevant groups, build their professional network, and engage with contacts. However, social media profiles should be professional and free of content that could reflect poorly on the job seeker. Maintaining an online reputation is important as many recruiters research candidates online.

Optimization of electric energy density in epoxy aluminium nanocompositeIAEME Publication
This document summarizes a study that models epoxy-aluminum nanocomposites as a three-phase material to investigate their dielectric properties. It evaluates how aluminum particle size and filler loading influence permittivity, breakdown strength, and electric energy density. The model accounts for the polymer matrix, interfacial phase between polymer and particles, and nanoparticle fillers. Numerical results show permittivity increases drastically near a transition threshold. While breakdown strength decreases with higher volume fraction, energy density notably increases. An optimal filler size and concentration for maximum energy density is determined.
New World Chemicals' financial manager must prepare a formal financial forecast for 2009.

Only invite people you are fairly certain will
connect
Let the other do the work by including a link to
your profile in other places, such as your email
signature, blog, etc.
23. Cautions
“When stalking other people on
LinkedIn, make yourself anonymous”
Don’t invite too many people you don’t know
27. Tips for the Job Search
1. Finish your profile and cultivate your network
2. If your job search is public, consider updating your status
3. Use the advanced search feature to learn about career paths
for others with similar skills
4. Search the jobs section (duh!)
5. Track where people in various positions came from
(Companies: Insights) and related companies
6. “Follow” companies you’re interested in working for up-to-
date job postings
7. Check out the “Similar jobs” section when looking at position
details
8. If you can, connect to HR/hiring managers—if they’re
second-level connections but no further away
9. Let recruiters come to you
28. Using LinkedIn “Recommended
Skills”
Endorsements are tricky and have received
mixed reviews from the LinkedIn community
Consensus is that Recommendations are
better
Request from current and former colleagues and
bosses to flesh out your profile
Don’t ask for them all at once
It is helpful to provide a draft for the recommender
to revise
29. Is a premium account worth it?
The Answer: It depends…
