Networking still drives most job moves, and more of it happens on LinkedIn.
Career Management via LinkedIn is the English-language book by Aaltje Vincent and Jacco Valkenburg. It shows you how to get found online, use your network to land new work or assignments, and read the way recruiters search so you can use that to your advantage.
This page covers what the book offers and where you can still get it.
What you learn in Career Management via LinkedIn
The book pairs background on how LinkedIn works with a step-by-step approach you apply right away. It answers the questions most job seekers run into:

- How recruiters search and select on LinkedIn, and how you use that knowledge
- How to build a profile that people actually find
