o/t Linkenin

i just get a stream of recruitment agencies sending me messages!! if your CV is decent, it's worth putting it up there
 
They've done some OK stuff, I suppose. 'In the End' and 'What I've Done' are both pretty catchy.
 
I seem to be connected to loads of people I barely know, I only ever really go on there if someone wants to link, I didn't even know people put articles up on there.

It's like Facebook, but without the funny stuff and without friends that you're actually friends with.
 
We had to make a LinkedIn to 'enhance our profile' at uni.

Apparently it's good if you're looking for a job because business' are using the internet to search down applicants and will more than likely look at your LinkedIn than Facebook.

Idk, it's a load of **** if you ask me
 
Here in Oz it's used for by recruiters to get you on their books or to get you to apply for roles so they get some commission. I used to get loads of "interest" for vacancies that just fit what I have to offer, but after a few times you realise what they are doing.

Like OLM I didn't realise there was articles on there to read, not that I will be straight on there to read any......
