rich225 Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Afternoon peops,Jus thought I would share some knowledge/ see if anyone uses LinkedIn . Com? Its similar to facebook but for careers rather than scoping gyal and putting up mashed up drunk pictures.From the site i copied the following:Over 40 million professionals use LinkedIn to exchange information, ideas and opportunities * Stay informed about your contacts and industry * Find the people & knowledge you need to achieve your goals * Control your professional identity onlineI've registered because working in I.T i'm surrounded by people who bash this site.Bless up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revs Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 loads of people at work use it (although i haven't signed up)they constantly get recruiters hassling them about jobs etcits pretty jokes when someone updates their profile everyone in the studio 90% knows they are looking for another job.

rich225 Posted June 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 guess there is a harassment factor but it depends on how much info ya reveal. i'd recommend it for industry knowledge and moves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
