SPECIAL EDITION MEGA NETWORKING DAY!
As promised, the first 100 to register for Donato's Webinar, sponsored by RecruitingBlogs will be featured along with other high profile contacts I am sharing today. Missed it last week? No worries I will start offering other contests coming soon to broaden the chance you too may be included.

*ABOUT THE TOP TEN: The purpose of the Six Degrees weekly top ten is to send networking invitations to those listed. Each person is selected for recognition that I have known in some capacity, befriended in person and/or in similar circles that have contributed to our recruitment industry, and/or provided activism and thought leadership. WAIVER: We are not responsible for the volume or direction of networking invitations made, we are simply making an introduction based upon personal knowledge of those mentioned.

FACEBOOK INVITE INSTRUCTIONS
Click www.new.facebook.com/friends/#/invite.php?ref=sb ( http://www.new.facebook.com/friends/#/invite.php?ref=sb )

LINKEDIN INVITE INSTRUCTIONS

Log-in to Linkedin. Click the green button, "Add Connections" located on the lower left sidebar menu of your homepage.

1. Click the green "Add Connections" on your Home page

** THE SIMPLE WAY: IF You are adding the Top Ten/Thought leaders ....You will see three columns. It will say "Add friends or colleagues to
your network?"
***Manually CUT & PASTE first name, last name, email into three columns, click "Edit/preview invitation text" - Personalize your invitation and let them know I referred you

NOTE: Many have asked to join this list. Too many lol. Thank you. The value in my list is in the Criteria for selection: People I Personally Know & Admire. I've worked with/known personally/have verifiable impact on our industry. To connect with each of them is your value, inviting leaders and megastars in their craft. All listed are equally "must haves" in your network! If I did one for every one who asked, I would be unable to promote ALL 12,000 people and my list would lose credibility. Please understand. If I do not know you, please do not ask to be on the list. Let's make the opportunity to be introduced someday.
