What is the problem for which networking is the solution?
• Smart & able to learn is not enough
• You will need more detail about the nature of the work in a given role and/or organization than you can glean from a job description or website to be an effective candidate
• You want confirmation that the job is a match for your skills, values, and interests
![Page 3: Using LinkedIn Strategically Andrew Green, PhD April 26, 2011](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051618/56649cfe5503460f949cf975/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
As you begin to explore
• New professions and potential roles
• Companies or organizations
– You are looking for people who can serve as a guide, an ambassador, a mentor
– UC Berkeley grad students, PhDs, and Postdocs constitute one of the most talented and sought after applicant pools in the world. You just need to help potential employers understand the value you have to offer.
– LinkedIn can greatly facilitate your transition
