I’ve been trying to encourage my wife to create a LinkedIn profile as she wraps up here Ph.D in Archeaology.  Figured it’d help her create a living resume, connect with new people in her field, find work as a researcher or instructor, but even more…maybe find something other than teaching and doing research.  Here is a good post I first spotted today in fresh spotlight on WordPress http://webworkerdaily.com/2007/06/15/20-ways-to-use-linkedin-productively/.
