Love for LinkedIN.com:
Free tour: https://www.linkedin.com/static?key=tour_flash
In essence, you post a modified resume, listing your past employers. Based on that profile, and the fact others do the same, and then invite their contacts to join, means you can see who has worked or is working at a particular company.
If you wish to contact them, either for a job inquiry, or renew an old working friendship, or for any reason, I would help make that introduction.
You can see who I know! (and I know a lot of people....)
I find it a great tool to approach passive job seekers with new offers, and to keep in touch easily with my past contacts.
The reality of being a recruiter is that I see so many great people, but can help only a few.
With LinkedIn, I can at least open my network for you to make your own job leads.
My Profile, so we can connect our "networks":

Toronto Resume Help - IT Tech Resume review
Please email resume to richmond@ianmartin.com (recruiting)
About your CV: Every recruiter is looking for someone different. You can drive yourself crazy with re-formatting. Spend your 9 to 5 calling people and simply asking - do you need someone like me? do you know someone who does? Who *are* you looking for? And then give them a suggestion if you know someone. That helps you network, and shows you aren't wasting their time.
What does need to be on a CV....
These are the questions a hiring manager wants answered:
1)The field you are in -- even more specifically, what department you want to work in and the title you would like to have.
2)How much experience you have in a similar position or in the field?
3)What special skills and/or certifications you have?
4)The difficult problems you have solved and what you have accomplished.
5)The advances you have made throughout your career.
6)The type of person you are and your work characteristics.
Do a lot of this with a SUMMARY:
A profile statement is an overview, a brief summary of your accomplishments. It should be 1-2 paragraphs long with of 3-4 sentences, or perhaps a series of bulleted points.
