Less than 20% find jobs on LinkedIn

Just did a poll on LinkedIn which asked 'Has LinkedIn helped you find a job?' I found the results quite shocking. Only 17% of respondents found work via the jobs board (2%), connections and introductions (7%) and recruiters (8%). The sample size is small so far (7k+) but still food for thought. Seems traditional recruitment and alternative online recruitment sites are still way ahead of the game. You can follow the result on the link above.

Fight the recession at Your Best Year Yet Individual Workshop

Clodagh Hughes from Motive8 is another woman on a mission to encourage positivity and action
that 'will get us through this difficult period with a little less stress and a lot more control over the final outcome'. To this end, she's organising Your Best Year Yet Individual Workshop in Killiney Castle on March 27th. Anyone who is unemployed /redundant pays just for lunch (20 euro) which I think is incredibly generous and indicative of the new beat the recession Ireland which is supportive and the antithesis of the rip-off boom years. Well done and best of luck with the event.
