The next series of free employment workshops to be offered at Sno-Isle Libraries, in partnership with WorkSource Snohomish County, will focus on using the social networking site LinkedIn, to help attendees with their job hunting.

Participants will learn how to create, link into and optimize a professional network of trusted contacts, based on the rationale that it's not just what you know, but who you know that can help lead you to your dream job.
