    I'm more than a little bemused why it should be an issue that a hiring manager knows you've seen his profile but hate it?? Really??? I call BS on this one. Quite happy to take it back if other posters also believe the same though.

      I can believe it. However do you really want to be hired by a paranoid freak?

      A sockie account may be of some use, but 1) it breaks what LI is about, 2) it would show you out as dishonest if discovered/suspected, and 3) I really CBA.

      Interviewing is a two-way process. I always check out the client beforehand. If it bothers them then so be it.

        Surely the client should want the prospect to at least appear to be interested in them? I know when I was managment, if the prospect hadn't bothered to find out anything about the company it was an immediate turn off - granted these were permanent positions I was interviewing people for, so not really the same situation.

              I always check up on Linkedin and FaceStalker gut to see if there are any (Ice Breakers) I can use in an interview.

                Exactly what I meant in my previous post.

                @Northernladuk, yes some hiring managers dont like it.
