    Can we have an official Contractor UK LinkedIn group?

    This was discussed a while back, but using search I cannot see any evidence of one being created.

    If agreed, may I suggest putting up a sticky topic announcing the group, and people can join if they want to.

    I suppose we could change this to a poll if the forum's enforcers are not convinced its a good idea.

    You serious wish to be professionally associated with the children on these forums???

    Best of luck with that.

      There goes the luxury of hiding behind a username when you really want to let off steam.

        Only if you join (which I won't be doing).

          Just because people have a laugh doesn't mean they can't network and help fellow contractors out surely?

            You are not automatically Linked-In to everyone in the group.

            In joining the group you do not have to reveal your C-UK user name, so if I say **** on here, its not traceable from/to my public profile on LinkedIn.

            Not wanting to seem tight, but LinkedIn is free.

              This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious as to just how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is highly unusual though. Study it and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching!

                OK - I'll be the 1st to admit it then.

                There is a CUK network. It's behind the scenes and very exclusive but I have already contacted one regular here regarding work. He wasn't able to help but I know who does what and have a list that I would call upon should I need BA's/PM's/developers/testers etc.

                So I don't need linkedin - I've made my own network and everything (and everyone) I need is here.
