Watch and learn what it takes to maximize your job search using LinkedIn. Here's an excerpt from John's article so you can get an idea of what he writes about:

My wife, in fact, has her photo, e-mail address and company phone number on her profile (all good things to have), and has never had any problems at all. And, yes, she is much, much better looking than I am.
