In President Obama’s State of the Union last night, he highlighted our many shared aspirations, chief among which is finding a job that pays the bill and getting a chance to get ahead. We want to help you make this a reality, so today and tomorrow, we're offering job seekers 50% off the first three months of a LinkedIn Business account. In addition, we want to increase your job opportunities by providing companies a “buy one, get one free” job posting incentive.

The past months have been enormously difficult for the global economy. The U.S. job market, in particular, has been hit hard with millions of lost jobs and an unemployment rate in the double digits. Economists claim the recession is over, but for many without a job - or sometimes in a job that does not inspire them - this sounds cruelly abstract. Landing a job, and ideally one they’re passionate about, is still a primary concern.

LinkedIn is in a unique position to connect millions of professionals with the best career opportunities from all types of employers – small and medium businesses and larger corporations.

The LinkedIn incentives available during the next two days (Jan 28^th and 29^th) are designed to:

help job seekers reach out to hiring managers directly and be better prepared for interviews
help employers post more of the positions they’re hiring for on LinkedIn

Our Jobs Stimulus site can tell you more.

Forward this offer to both job seekers and hiring managers and help your connections find their dream job, even in this economy.
