Hi
Anybody tried http://www.linkedin.com/ ? I just heard about it this week. A former coworker just got a job (Software QA) because of the board. Essentially it is a networking tool used by job seekers and potential employers alike. Since companies only give neutral recommendations now, linkedin is a way for people to vouch for each others abilities.

I went to my first outplacement meeting this week and they said that linkedin was crucial in the current job search world. FYI, if you are lucky enough to get a package with outplacement, use it. They are not like recruiters or anything.

Good luck
Mark

Hi... new to Chicago, and am working of finding a real job (accounting/audit) but would also consider any kind of odd jobs in the mean time. I don't have any special skills or talents, but am open to pretty much anything that you think a fast learner might be able to handle.
