Leveraging Internet search and building your online presence to advance your executive job search is the topic of the next session of Experts Connection(TM) (www.experts-connection.com), this distance learning teleseminar series is for executive job seekers.

The panel discussion entitled "Business Networks and Online Presence -- Making It Work For You" is scheduled to be held Wednesday, May 24 from 4:00 - 5:30 p.m. EDT (1:00 - 2:30 p.m. PDT).

"The Internet has changed the rules about job search. It used to be all about maintaining candidate confidentiality, but now job seekers are looking to become as public as possible, especially since hiring managers and recruiters are using Google, Yahoo, and other Internet tools to qualify prospective employees," said Kathy Simmons, CEO of NETSHARE and host of the Experts Connection teleseminars.

"It's no longer about what you know or even who you know; it's about who knows you and how they find you, which means promotion and managing your online brand is critical. We have assembled a panel of the most well-connected career experts who have proven success at using the Internet to build their personal brand. They will share their insights and offer tips and techniques to help attendees build their own Internet brand."

Topics the panelists will discuss include

-- Gaining control of your personal brand, including helping control the results of the "Google" search.

-- Understanding how to make effective connections using business and social networks

-- Approaches to introduce yourself to a network

-- Extending your personal networks to give you global reach, so you can make the "right" connection anywhere.
