I use it for business contacts It's useful there. Only the free side and I get periodic hits from recruiters looking for people(one every month or two). Granted I work tech and it's quite popular but good to build a network if you need to find a job.

I am on the free side and have joined the Chiefs and Royals groups, even tried to point some people to here.

I have found it very useful in connecting with people.

Thanks, guys. I can't believe I never heard about it until the other day. I'm in the thoroughbred horse business (bloodstock consultant). There are plenty of groups dedicated to horses, racing, equestrian sports etc. but the first one I joined has a message board that is dead (last post was last fall). Anyway, we'll see what happens....

I'm going to need some help utilizing this service as I have no idea how to use it to my advantage.

I used it to find my current gig, but I have not used their pay stuff.

When I was hired at WB every small business person tried to connect with me. When I left WB and needed a job it was totally useless.

F*** LinkedIn.

I've gotten a few calls on jobs from that site, and hooked up with some friends from old jobs. But I just use the free version.

I've been contacted on it by recruiters 3 or 4 times without even looking for a job. Haven't been interested yet, but who knows in the future? Seems like a good deal to me.

I got 3 interviews out of it for jobs that I would like to have. Not bad, but maybe I was just lucky.

I don't quite understand why this is such a big deal. Is it used as a resume when applying for jobs to make sure people aren't lying on their resume?

I don't think mine would be very impressive. Skills include sleeping until noon, getting berated by people, whaling.

I use it as a reference point for company and employee information. Helps when looking for a certain type of employee.
