Got 6 job leads on the go at the moment for Singapore, four of them through linked in ...
Very impressed.

I plan to update my profile this week and my initial thoughts are to have a pared down version of my CV which would provide enough information for potential leads to contact me to request my CV.

My most promising piece of potential work for a while was generated by an agent that I had connected to spotting that I was available when I added some more people to my network last week.

I've started pimping up my profile with a goal to finding summat in The Netherlands.
Getting some interest but just from the regular pimps.
Just finding for what I'm in the groups to get into are few and far between.
Not so sure how popular LinkedIn is in mainland Europe

Originally posted by snaw View PostI joined it a couple of years ago, and thought nothing much of it.
But in the last year I've had a few job type enquiries through it and recently I changed my status to indicate I was interested in jobs in Singapore and this week I've two job interviews for roles out there. Directly through linked in.
Almost becoming a must have I think these days. And it's worth joining loads of groups, cause a fair few jobs seem to come through that avenue ...
My 2c.

Its not bad, I only have one agent as a contact but that is a firm I know and respect plus they mainly deal in roles in my area. So far I've only had 2 companies contact me directly, one from a very large Linux company and had a rather long and interesting teleconference with them. The other was no good as it was in Pennsylvania!

I'll back up Snaw's comments here - my LinkedIn profile is generating calls from companies direct, no agency involvement. Also - the proportion of proper leads from niche agents compared with traditional routes is rising. Had 3 or 4 interviews out of it so far.
