Deleted it. Havenโ€™t missed it all.

Everyone i know that actually used it for job hunting, found themselves in line with 8000 other auto-applications, so I donโ€™t even think it is good for job-hunting.

When/if i need a new job, Iโ€™ll much rather call up previous colleagues and contacts and see what theyโ€™re up to and meet for coffee.

    +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!

    :)

    Which is funny because it is the way to go - trusting linkedin to do it for you is the long way around. If you donโ€™t have it, you will need to be more active (and that will be more succesful).

    But i see recruiters having a harder time :)
