a forum for job seekers- 750,00 Jobless....seeking Help!
With the announcement today on the news stating there are 750,000 jobless people in the USA sense Jan 2008, you would be doing a tremendous service by allowing a specific place for Job Seekers to post: headline, introductions, short blurb leading to our links, similar to the job postings allowed by companies and recruiters.
Postings are going up on many discussion boards and either being pulled down or risking being flagged. We do not wish to be intrusive, we wish to seek employment. I have also received info from job seekers by way of messages on invitations, introductions, inmail, and emails blasts as we struggle to gain visibility and hopefully a new career.
As there is presently not an approved forum on LI for our postings, everyone is desperately seeking a forum that will be accepted and not risk being flagged, angering our fellow LI members, or dilute the discussion boards with items we are being told that are not welcome.
I consider myself lucky with 32 yrs of networking skills to lean on. I fear for the many who are floundering and do not have skills in gaining visibility or in meeting the right party who can hire. Many of us are barely surviving and struggling on unemployment. Worse off are those poor souls who were fired without income and facing an impossible task to provide shelter and food for their families. I am evangelistic in sharing as best as I can with as many as I can tips to help them.
I personally have been searching hard using my networking skills to pull me up in the rankings and gaining the right visibility. I am thankful for LI and have come far in 2 months, but spending 12 hr days 7 days/ week to do so. I am running out of money, but confidant the right opportunity will come.
I believe LI is THE answer above and beyond the career boards. Please consider my request, on behalf of not only me and my family_ but for the thousands of other LI users. We would prefer to be happily networking, and using LI for its wonderful networking capabilities in the methods for which it was intended.
With much respect and hope for consideration,

Inappropriate?Vicki,
With unemployment being what it is and what it's likely to be in 2009, this is a great suggestion. However, I would encourage *you* to take the initiative to start the group. Should you do so, please feel free to use my groups to market your group for job seekers.
As a reminder: I do have a group called Linking Job Seekers and a Twitter groups called "Job Seekers" (@JobSeekers)
