Bruno,
LinkedIn is a subscription service, they offer limited resources to the public, but if you want the full features, maximum job possibilities too, then you'll need to pay the fees which they ask.
there are several free sites that will give better results and targeted infusion with your resume for your demographic target. Monster is large one and there are many more. Often these sites will charge the employer a finders fee and is totally free to you. you can also target locally, i generally use a head hunters, professionals that work for placement services, usually locally. One perk with the local head hunters is that they may have relations built up with the companies you want to interview with, in our area, it is very common that companies will call their favorite head hunter(s) and get short lists from them, that way almost entirely bypassing he pain of the hiring process.
believe it or not, some of the best leads i have ever had were from the government (un)employment agency and the local news paper. i am very spoiled in my searches, as i have, my entire career, only sought local employment--within the region that i live. i have not ever considered moving out of state, it is easy to move out of the Pacific Northwest, but much more difficult to move back, and this is my home land, to be exact, i live on my native home land even.
I suggest you get a good idea where you want to go--if it's any where that will give you a job, then use the big guys and go where ever, they also have geographic filters for local, or if you wish to be local go with the local options. i find that the local guys tend to be more motivated in finding you a job, they all work on commission and are there for the dollars.
tnx,
Les
