- nvr219 9y agoSad but true. Clients look me up on linkedin (I know because they mention it to me) and I'll bet if I didn't have a linkedin page they'd think that's weird.
- throwanem 9y agoIt also, if you invest a little effort to produce an appealing profile, does a great deal to make up for weak face-to-face networking skills. The "LinkedIn, faugh, who needs it" attitude around here really doesn't do an introvert any favors, I think.
- IgorPartola 9y agoWhy not host your own resume?
- throwanem 9y agoNo reason not to do both. But if you only do one, LinkedIn has discovery benefits that are very hard to equal with self-hosting.
- nvr219 9y agoI do both.
- apple4ever 9y agoActually, that's a good point. If you don't want to do linked in, then host one on your own site, and make sure its on your resume.
- apple4ever 9y agoI know I do. If you applied and you can't even keep up a decent LinkedIn, why should I interview you? Or better yet, trust you?
