Useful? Aug 22

I’ve never had a single job through LinkedIn, I take everything I read there with a pinch of salt as it seems being full of self-acclaimed experts on everything…

Well... Aug 22

I have never found it usefull. After all, is a site that sends you video games reliable and useful?

Not just me 05:02

I'm glad it's not just me who doesn't find the LinkedIn "experience" useful at all any more.

There was a time in the distant past when I occasionally got work through LinkedIn, but I can't remember the last time that happened. Any contacts that might seem interesting just fizzle out.

So asking me how I keep my "LinkedIn experience useful" is like asking me how I keep my full head of luxurious hair. i.e. It stopped being that a long time ago.
