Bio:
Joshua Waldman once traveled the world on nothing more than LinkedIn and a bottle of gin. He is owner and CEO of Career Enlightenment, which specializes in helping job seekers, frustrated by the traditional job search, leverage social media to find work FAST! He blogs, trains, gives webinars and presents to job seekers and career advisors all over the country.

His upcoming book, “The New Connected Career” takes job seekers through clear step-by-step instructions on how to win your next job using free online tools the right way. Joshua has an MBA from Boston University and is a graduate of Cisco’s premier leadership training program. He believes that technology is just a tool, like a chisel or paint brush, and what really matters is how you use it. Work smarter, not harder.

What’s your favorite career related quote?
“You don’t ‘belong to’ any company for life, and your chief affiliation isn’t to any particular ‘function.’ You’re not defined by your job title and you’re not confined by your job description.” (Tom Peters, Fast Company 1997)

What’s your favorite part about being a CAREEREALISM-Approved Expert?
The program gives me a chance to really listen to job seekers. There is a difference between what I think job-seekers need, and what they REALLY need. I appreciate the exposure and connection with clients.
