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.Comment

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.Comment

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