MEANWHILE…BACK ON GOOGLE

WHILE SPEAKING OF GOOGLE…site:linkedin.com java -“manager” -“director” (~develop | ~design) (Ajax | Struts) Weblogic -recruiter (inurl:pub | inurl:in) -intitle:directory

AND WHILE STILL SPEAKING OF GOOGLE…site:linkedin.com java -“manager” -“director” (~develop | ~design) (Ajax | Struts) Weblogic -recruiter (inurl:pub | inurl:in) -intitle:directory

(This is Free, too. I’m cheap like that!)

Let me mention Evernote…

JUST CONNECT

JUST CONNECT

JUST CONNECT … WITH ANY 2ND OR GROUP CONNECTION

EXPERIENCE & EDUCATION

What do you do if you don’t have access to the Years of Experience Talent Filter?

Or if you want to try and control years of experience more specifically than 6 to 10 years or more than 10?

BACK TO GOOGLE…site:linkedin.com -dir (java | j2ee) -recruiter (engineer | consultant | programmer | developer) “location *

Greater Atlanta”  “(“BA” | ” B.A.” | “BS” | “B.S.” | “Bachelor” | “Bachelors”) * * * * * * 2004″

EXPERIENCE & EDUCATION

What if our candidate didn’t graduate? You don’t even need to target education in an attempt to control a person’s years of professional experience by controlling what years

do or do not appear on a LinkedIn profile.

site:linkedin.com -dir (java | j2ee) -recruiter -answers -jobs (engineer | consultant | programmer | developer) “location * Greater Atlanta” 2000..2011 -1990 -1991 -1992 -1993 -1994 -1995 -1996 -1997 -1998 -1999
