Forget about Monster. A full 28.5% of LinkedIn's users are looking for a job, according to new comScore data. Comscore was able to estimate of how many of LinkedIn's visitors are job seekers -- and even to what degree those visitors are looking for a job -- by cross-referencing visits to job-seeking sites with visits to LinkedIn. According to that data, the average LinkedIn user is 2.4 times as likely as the average Internet user to be looking for a job. Overall, LinkedIn had 8 million US visitors in July -- an increase of 66% compared to a year ago.

    Good article.
    LinkedIn is a great tool for all sorts of networking.
    These days, job seekers need all the help they can get to rise above the crowd and get noticed first by prospective employers.
    Toward this end, I thought I’d share with you a new, free tool I’ve created and launched to help job seekers: www.preverify.com
    PreVerify is a free tool with which job seekers can conduct their own accurate and professional employment verifications. Following the quick and simple registration process, simply send your PreVerify request to your former and current employers to complete online at a time that is convenient for them to do so. No more interruptive phone calls, just an employment verification that can be used over and over again, forever.
    Rather than crowd this email with a bunch of words, attached are two recent articles that talk about PreVerify:
