Are you a recruiter?
Understandable.
That's a strong negative, although I talk to them here and there, but that's not uncommon in my arena I guess.

funny b/c that could be a roundabout way of saying exactly what you do if what I'm thinking of is what you're thinking of

Well, if you know what you think I think that you know, then that means other might know what we both now know.

I don't connect with anyone that I do not know.
It is something like Facebook with some of the bs but it can be a resource to check for HR type people.
I have a lot of international business so I do get some connections that I only have talked to but never met. It helps to eventually meet them in person.

I've been getting hit up by a bunch of headhunters out of Houston lately for piping design department lead.
And also on some mercinary sites for Central America.

You're in a different line of work obviously, but it's very common with background in work to have people reach out or to reach out without knowing the person

LinkedIn is good for what it is. A former co-worker of mine, now working at a different company, told me about a position within her company that she thought I would be a good fit for. We spoke, I found out the name of her boss, immediately linked up with her and set up a phone conversation the very next day.
Have to treat it like Tinder. Make a connection online and then go the old fashion way ether by phone or in person.
Our conversation went so well she is flying down to come meet me out of town where I will be for my current job.

In person. Networking
I am not going accept some Jackass who wants to cold call through LinkedIn or showing up at my office.

Most endorsements are random. LinkedIn recommends a group of people and random skills and gives you an option to "endorse all". At first I felt like a pimp having all these people endorsing me. Then I realized how the system works and nobody is actually singling me out for an endorsement. LinkedIn endorsements are worthless.
