Interesting link and I'm shocked with the numbers
That's why I said we can't fake a CV.

My linkedin is in summary form and my cv is more detailed.If I see a job on jobserve I can check the agents history. I can also send him a message if he is one of my contacts.If I don't know the agent I send a linkedin invite and sometimes I get a phone call .

You said a CV can't have fake skills on. I am questioning that statement.

I'd be picking on you if I were to suggest you are a sickie or trolling but I'm not. I asked a simple question.

I'd suggest you start 'getting' British humour as you ain't gonna last long on here if you don't.

You are not being picked on.

A quick Google would reveal a number of high up executives who have been sacked due to fake CVs around the world.

In the UK we even have at least one current and one former government ministers of the current party who have faked their CVs.

Of course there is, but sound stupid if you ask.

Humm, are you picking on me?

For me linkedin is really used as another way to contact you, other then email/phone. You will always need a CV to send to the client, don't think they would like just URL to your LI.
