For anyone in Australia, who has any doubts about LinkedIn, here are a few facts that might inspire you.
Recruiters will Google you. LinkedIn gives you one Google reference you can control. Social networks aside, unless you’re a blogger, publisher or write web content for a living, you don’t have much control about what ends up there.
Recruiters love LinkedIn. They scan it all the time. They see candidates on LinkedIn as “passive job seekers,” mainly working and therefore more attractive. This is a weird psychology to me, but it’s true.
LinkedIn is a bucket of virtual business cards. If you want to network you can contact people directly. You don’t even have to be brazen about it. You can join groups who share similar interests. Often groups hold free events. There are hundreds of them. It’s a great way to hook up with people in your industry.

I have joined LinkedIn but any time I want to logon does not accept my email address or/and my password. It does not even give me a chance to tell them that please maybe I have forgotten something. Help me to find my real user name or/and password so that I can have access to LinedIn. Please help.
Thanks,
Anoush Fanaeian

Is there a section where i can post my resume both here in australia and overseasekind regards peter thanks
Hi Peter, Your profile is effectively your resume and if you have your settings open, then people can view it. If you’d like to reach out overseas, you may need to contact recruiters working in that space directly. Linkedin is a great platform for that as well. Karalyn
