Are you on LinkedIn?

To win in today's job market, I highly recommend having a LinkedIn profile. (www.linkedin.com)

* There are over 40-million professionals on LinkedIn

* In a recent study 85% of recruiters say their firms use internet search engines to uncover information about potential candidates

* 45% of recruiters use LinkedIn exclusively to source candidates

* LinkedIn profiles with more than 20 legitimate connections are 34 times(!) more likely to be approached with a job opportunity than those with less than 5 connections

So, often it is WHO you know that counts, and thus the importance of networking and never burning your bridges...
