Linked-in Losers Pwned.

Them and twitter, Facebook and yahoo. If you restrict your logins to those site that have not been owned you are in for a small Internet

Indeed.

Natural selection rulez.

Linked-in was the site that got their members' passwords stolen.

Linked in is where it's at! i have had two contracts from there. I also seem popular with recruitment agents on linked in they all want to be my friend! I think Linked in is starting to advertise jobs, I reckon they will take over the whole recruitment market soon.

Alternative sites you may want to check

You can take a look at other job sites like Staff.com, Odesk, Monster etc. If you are looking for work you can sign up and post your resume at no cost, same goes if you are looking to hire.

I've actually read several reviews about these sites and most of them are positive so I think they're reliable.

All of the big jobsites are useful, but also keep in touch with agents who have contacted you previously.

Jobserve, CW, TechnoJobs, etc..

All have their place but networks are also important, previous colleagues, friends etc..

Have to agree with kingcook, had four pimps email me last week through LI saying they had a fantastic role for me and that I should "connect" with them.

Instead emailed back for more details, gave each one my mob number and not one called. Blatant phishing.

If you've linked to them and they dont deliver - delete them from your contacts. Culled another 6 off last night, contacts coming down nicely

Some people just want to be on LI for having a record number of contacts, what's that all about if they dont deliver?

Do you give 2 references out aswell, when requested?

Only after I get an offer, don't mind if they use my linked in though, if I get the odd contract out of it..

[SueEllen]

I often give them details of people I know who I don't like.

Will that do.

I've done the same.

Yes, as they are all on my CV which I am happy to send to them. Also all my competitors have their CV's on the jobsites. Not sure why you would be on linked in and block all the people who can find you work.

So you're happy for agents to go thorugh your list of clients (assuming you have them listed) and your other connections (who might possibly be your competitors)?

Say it isn't so! I wondered why none of them wanted to chat about football.

[proggy]

They also want a list of your previous clients, and a list of your connections who possibly have the same skills as you (all available for free to them if they are your connection)
