The big issue, Michael, is being available when the jobs open up, and vice
versa.  This requires serious internal intelligence within the prospect
employers. LinkedIn is not the answer, although it's better than most.  We
need a proactive system that informs us when jobs open, not holds them in
cache waiting for us to discover their availability!
