OP may well be super talented, but he may also just have a specialized skill set that is in demand. My personal experience is that I regularly get contacted by companies that are interested in my skills (DevOps, Chef specifically). In fact, I found my current job through LinkedIn.
LinkedIn most definitely has its warts, but I think as an online resume and a way to connect professionals, it succeeds.
- Grishnakh 11y ago>LinkedIn most definitely has its warts, but I think as an online resume and a way to connect professionals, it succeeds. Exactly. And very importantly: it doesn't have any real competition. It is the social network for professionals to network on, get contacted by recruiters, post their resume, etc. Facebook doesn't have all that, and FB is for your personal stuff anyway, and anyone who mixes their personal life on Facebook (with inane posts about politics or cat videos or whatever) with their professional life is asking to never be hired anywhere. Twitter obviously is useless for the things LinkedIn is used for. So until something comes along which does the stuff LinkedIn does, but better, we're stuck with it.
