Anyone using LinkedIn?

Started by Nelson11 on June 26, 2008 6:35 AM

When I left my last job, the company's outplacement service suggested that I join LinkedIn, which I did. Since then, I've been innundated with requests to be linked with people I used to work with, or who share an acquaitnance. I like being able to keep up with the latest news about former co-workers, but I am totally ignorant about how I am supposed to use LinkedIn to find a job. Does anyone have some experience with this site and the best way to use it? Nelson
