Not cool to do this to me on my only source of happiness left. This is the final straw. Goodbye.

Relax. Maybe he has aspirations of becoming an illusionist.

What is the purpose of LinkedIn? Is it just to show off how "successful" you are or is it actually helpful in making job connections and finding work? I joined it and almost immediately deleted my account because I didn't see the point.

ETA: Didn't see post at the top of this page before posting, apparently I'm not the only one with this sentiment.

Limu is at least unemployment with a corporate structure. Your guy isn't even trying to not suck.

It wouldn't hurt to throw the poor bastard a bone. After all, it's the Christmas season, unfortunately.

A lot of job posting are there now, and you can now apply to a lot of jobs via your linkedin profile. It's a much better resource than indeed or any of those other websites.

I use it all of the time. I am in sales and I cover 1/2 of the US. I use it to find contacts in organizations. I can see if we know any of the same people, so I can ask my contacts for an introduction.

Also, I get approached for a ton of job opportunities from LinkedIn.

May just depend on your job. Everyone is on LinkedIn in what I do.

Yep. I like LinkedIn. It's how I was recruited for my current position.

I think he deleted it. I don't want to visit his page and let him know I'm stalking him though. He probably posts here
Don't you know how to go incognito on LinkedIn?
