Everyone i know that actually used it for job hunting, found themselves in line with 8000 other auto-applications, so I don’t even think it is good for job-hunting.
When/if i need a new job, I’ll much rather call up previous colleagues and contacts and see what they’re up to and meet for coffee.
Which is funny because it is the way to go - trusting linkedin to do it for you is the long way around. If you don’t have it, you will need to be more active (and that will be more succesful).
Deleted it. Haven’t missed it all.

+2 for the “coffee with ex-colleagues”… that’s how to really open doors.
It’s not what you know, it’s who you know
A friend almost got a new position created (for me) in a company that wasn’t even hiring!

But i see recruiters having a harder time :)
