As a Recruiter I spend a ton of time there. Mostly stalking passive candidates. Train how you intend to Fight Remember - Training is not sparring. Sparring is not fighting. Fighting is not combat. | |||

I have a question for you then. As a recruiter, do you tend to look at a person's written recommendations? I recently realized I was lacking them, and have been on a kick of trying to get as many as I can now. | |||

My wife is a recruiter and she happens to be sitting next to me as I type this. Her response: "Nope. Tell him the best thing he can do is have an up to date profile and if he is actively looking, be sure he has his "I'm looking" flag turned on under "jobs". ___________________________ All it takes...is all you got. ____________________________ For those who have fought for it, Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

Easy, free. I only use it for work, so don't try to "linked in" with me from SIG Forum. I've received some great business leads on it. Rolan Kraps SASS Regulator Gainesville, Georgia. NRA Range Safety Officer NRA Certified Instructor - Pistol / Personal Protection Inside the Home | |||

LinkedIn is big in some industries. When the blog wrote a Bradford White story, the article went heavy through their LinkedIn networking (They do not do Facebook). A friend on the local paper "publishes" on LinkedIn and people follow his news feeds. My sister had probably 1000+ contacts last time I looked; she's in marketing. So in a way it is also a gigantic address/messaging service as well as a networking device to put you in touch with headhunters and prospective employers. | |||

My career counselor at school has recommended I use LinkedIn more in order to build a network. I just wanted to see what advice the wife group of Sig Forum had. Thank you for the responses. Please keep them coming. _____________ | |||

I suppose that if you need a job, and you are willing to receive a constant string of emails, it serves a purpose. For me, it was like a virus on my computer. I never even actually signed up, i got referred by a contact. Then they wanted me to sign up just so i could unsubscribe! I ended up having to make a couple nasty phone calls to their home offices just to get off their lists. "Crom is strong! If I die, I have to go before him, and he will ask me, 'What is the riddle of steel?' If I don't know it, he will cast me out of Valhalla and laugh at me." | |||

Pretty much this. If you are in a specific line of work, expect to be recruited. My line has a person reaching out to me once a month with a real job. I have been flown to Boston and San Francisco on job interviews I never applied to as a result of recruiters on linkedin. | |||

I have an acquaintance that I talk to maybe once a year. I get a couple invites a year from LinkedIn saying he is requesting I join... I have no idea what for, we are both retired. If it ain't woke... don't fix it. | |||

Membership has its privileges |
I joined LinkedIn when I was let go from my job in 2009. I find it a useful tool, to follow others in my industry, as well as companies within my industry. When I was thinking of joining, people told me it was like FB for the professional world. Niech Zyje P-220 Steve | |||

It’s useful for keeping track of your business network, and job searches (hiring or looking). It’s a good place for an online resume, or to expand on a physical resume. I thought about redoing mine in haiku, as a recruiter filter. If you still like it after that, and have a wheelbarrow of cash, we can talk.  -- I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is.
