"is LinkedIn completely useless now?"


          

- becky fresh outta college and trying to cut her teeth in recruiting, spamming me with a job description that doesn't even fit my core skillset.

- people posting personal shit like it's facebook.

- endless add requests from dudes in mumbai who ain't even 2-degree connections.

- "evangelist" as a job title.

what say you?

i've been premium and i'm not so sure it's ever made much of a difference for anything like "standing out" or whatever.

it was kinda cool tho having ability to still be logged as *anonymous* versus seeing who's view my profile.

anyone who's looked at your profile appears anonymous too.

whereas with premium you *can* see the actual visitor, as long as they don't have their privacy settings set to anonymous (or just their job title).

Like, if i have an interview and I get a name I'm able to read up on people on the sneak

i've had interviews come from premium but no real jobs

its also a way to place your work history in public forum

real talk....Angel.co is becoming my go-to for work stuff

I rarely use the site and haven't updated in over 3 years. I got tired of the recruiters/headhunters too.

But I think it's still good for allowing people to easily see your resume, and more importantly any recommendations you have.

don't add people just because you went to high school with them, don't add people you bussed tables with in college, etc.

If you keep it to people in your actual professional network - or better yet, the professional network you aspire to be in you should be fine.

Be choosy.
