  • I've landed jobs with it and I find it useful for separating work v. Personal contacts. But I typically ignore its "newsfeed".

  • My sister has a profile on LinkedIn, and though she wasn't looking for a new job, she was scouted, interviewed, and offered a job. She didn't want the new job, but she took her offer to her current employer, and they offered her a multi-thousand dollar raise just to keep her from leaving. WINNING!

  • Mostly for recruiters to stalk people online. Also for people to share stories that aren't work related at all that should be shared actually on Facebook.

  • Its a great connection platform for career highlights.. but the media you put out dosnt have a great reach so it seems like more of just a "hey look at me and my cool shit" platform in reality..
