Why Use LinkedIn?
“People with more than twenty connections are thirty-four times more likely to be approached with a job opportunity than people with less than five.
All 500 of the Fortune 500 are represented in LinkedIn. In fact, 499 of them are represented by director-level and above employees.”
-- Guy Kawasaki http://blog.guykawasaki.com/2007/01/ten_ways_to_use.html#ixzz0IcOuG3EF&D

Good Invitation to ConnectAs you may know, I resigned my position as [TITLE & COMPANY]. It was a rich experience and I value the privilege of access to a very high level of thought leadership during my years there.
Recently, I have begun to work with the [COMPANY] to [DETAILS OF JOB AND INDUSTRY] Using “best practice” as a baseline, we are looking at regional, national and international models that use an integrated approach to create successful outcomes.
