more about linkedin

Good suggestions, I could say at international level. One more about linkedin. You can use your network of connections or you simply search within your category. Looking for people who have similar field of competence to yours but are not your direct contacts. In fact this may be suspected as spamming but I know couple of successful cases with this kind of approach. What is crucial is to compose your message well, be honest, respect somebody time, and be to the point. If you for example top IT manager, you can ask others if they are searching for kind of your skills. Actually they may not, but may know others who are. IMHO this is even more powerful than directing your message to recruiting companies.
