WEB 2.0 AND RECRUITING

I ran a search for various jobs on LinkedIn just to see how many jobs are posted for the Birmingham area. A neat feature about LinkedIn is that it ties in with SimplyHired.com for a more extensive search. SimplyHired.com is a website that integrates job postings from many different sites and pulls them together in one location. Here are the number of jobs reported as open on LinkedIn:

Human Resources - 81 positions
Programmer - 48 positions
Engineer - 253 positions
Teacher - 83 positions
Driver - 342 positions
Mechanic – 26 positions
Machinist – 2 positions
Carpenter – 3 positions
Cook – 72 positions

So, even though we are in a recession, there are jobs out there. Polish up your resume and start mining the jobs in LinkedIn.
