I Hate Linkedin
That is all

LinkedIn is a good indicator of who has, or is about to lose their job.
Activity always picks up by said people right before or after the ax. -
come to think of it, I registered as I was getting axed
-
My very boss suggested it

There's value in LinkedIn ...
It's not entirely tied to people that are about to lose their job ...
But fair point that activity level increases when people are thinking about a change (if you're not associated w/ HR) -
Well, I know some of the people on there pretty well, and the commendations are simply bullshit. I mean, most of what is said on the internet is bullshit anyway, but some people really believe linkedin.Tequilla said:There's value in LinkedIn ...

Were you fired because you spent your time at work researching little known schools so that you'd have information to post in here?ApostleofGrief said:come to think of it, I registered as I was getting axed

Flagged for using LinkedIn

I think it's a good resource, I always get lots of leads on other openings - could practically transfer to any other corndog hut in the country

Well known school superiority guy. Actually I was working hard while my boss was looking at craigslist about half the day.oregonblitzkrieg said:

What is funny, I get commendations from people I have never met.ApostleofGrief said:

Hate to break it to you but it's here for a while. The recruiting calls have picked up again after a long while after nothing. Every company that called looking for interest screened me on Linkedin.
My advice is to treat it the way colleges tell high school kids to treat their facebook and twitter accts: clean it up -
Then they found out you were a fake.creepycoug said:Hate to break it to you but it's here for a while. The recruiting calls have picked up again after a long while after nothing. Every company that called looking for interest screened me on Linkedin.

blow it off if you want; it's your life. let's just put it this way. I see people WAAAAAY up the career food chain from me (and likely you) use it. if it's good enough for people who are where I'd like to be, then it's good enough for people like me.
I don't have a social media platform, and I sure as hell don't use Linkedin for that purpose either. But you have to be a fucking moron to fight this and argue about spending just 8 minutes cutting and pasting from your resume and completing a profile. that's it. it's free and it's so easy a monkey could do it.

It's all about networking. I mean it's not like anybody uses Linkedin when they're drunk at the Coug.Tequilla said:There's value in LinkedIn ...

I use it to brag about all the art-history and gender studies degrees I have (but don't feel comfortable sharing that I'm $700,000 deep in student debt that the Federales financed for me).
Not to fear, Obama is going to make it go away to win my vote and take attention off Deserter Bergdahl and the VA!
Si Se Puede!
