[Jennifer Naylor]

Hey Gotham, 

For those looking for work or a connection to a company, this is a good
article to share:

Here are the first two Œgraphs ­ the rest discusses access and how to use.

³As the recession turns workers of all industries into job seekers, many
users of LinkedIn, the social network for professionals, have begun
examining the service's free company profiles to see who recently joined (or
left) organizations, prepare for interviews and learn about what skills
particular employers value in prospective candidates.

³Since LinkedIn Company Profiles launched nearly a year ago, more than
160,000 companies have established a profile page. If you're job hunting in
today's struggling economy, LinkedIn company profiles can help you learn
about companies on your short list in greater depth, according to career
experts who have analyzed the service. Another bonus: a careful examination
of LinkedIn contacts who have recently joined (or worked at) a company can
help you determine if the organization would be a good fit, as you compare
your own qualifications against the candidates hired.²

Best, 

Jennifer
