LinkedIn - Let the Recruiters come to you:

Recruiters search LinkedIn all the time for candidates when they have a job to fill.
I have surveyed a group of recruiting agencies about LinkedIn including Command Group and Hayes Recruiting and this is some of the feedback. Nearly all agencies use LinkedIn. Many of the consultants use it, but not all. They may post a job or in many cases they will search LinkedIn by job title, some good advice was that if you are a graduating student that still does not have experience in a particular job you are looking for, include the job title of the job you are looking for in your profile e.g. “java programmer” and when they search LinkedIn you will come up in the results and they may give you a call.

With Mycareer.com.au job search site, you can log in to LinkedIn and when applying for a job, you can use your LinkedIn profile.

Quote: Hayes Recruiting News Story - “Of course, you can also make cyberspace work for you to enhance a potential employer’s perception of you. For example, you can leverage the LinkedIn network or show your passion for your particular specialisation by blogging about latest trends.” http://www.hays.com.au/common/pages/news/newsdesc.aspx?id=481
