LinkedIn has been a popular site for networking for awhile now. Think of it as facebook or myspace for business professionals. LinkedIn has also had job postings for some time. So what's new? LinkedIn has recently added a bunch of new features aimed at recruiters, along with recrutiing packages for some of the larger employers. They continue to be one of my top research sites for finding high-caliber potential candidates!

What does that mean for you? The best time to start building your network, via LinkedIn and via more traditional means, is now! Networking is an ongoing process, and your network builds over time. Having it in place before you need it is the best plan of action.
