I was actually thinking of also creating two separate resumes, but having a master to pull from sounds better. I also need to network. I'm very quiet and awkward in networking groups. I guess the more I do it, the easier it will become.

My company has announced that there will be layoffs within the next 2 weeks. You've offered a gold mine of information! Common sense, practical, useful. Unfortunately we're in one of those "meet with HR for ten minutes, get your coffee cup, and be escorted out of the building" places; all the more reason to get everything in as much good order as possible beforehand. Thanks again so much! Emailed from a recipient:

It's dry humor, but I put an article out last week because someone did precisely the same thing in an email to me and wanted to ramp up their networking efforts. So I've got this addition - follow the steps in the article below to begin networking in the days after these first 2.5 hours, but for even better results, start them today when you have a job!-) http://www.linkedinpersonaltrainer.com/archives/four-essential-networking-components-for-every-business-professional/ On a LinkedIn connection strategy - I recommend always connecting to people you both know and trust. It's a bit more restrictive, but it protects the VIPs that you connect to - and aren't all of your close associates VIPs? It's too much to go into here - I've got several different articles talking about connections, and I'd like to recommend readers with an opinion on this aspect visit my site and read more there and comment on both;-) steve Steven Tylock The LinkedIn Personal Trainer http://www.linkedinpersonaltrainer.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/stevetylock Laura,
