I disagree. If you are a designer or a developer I fully agree -- the Internet is your CV. Just Github got so important regarding this. But if your career profile is more management related it's a bit more complicated. You cannot go out and spam social networks with your achievements or beg for endorsements on LinkedIn -- this is counterproductive, smells like despair and you just shouldn't do this. Please don't get intimidated by such posts. Best case is always when third parties talk about you AND NOT YOURSELF. With third parties I have news sites or at least well know blogs in mind. That's the best reference the net can give you. To come there isn't easy and the result of some work, don't give in to the temptation to post 24/7 your status on Twitter or blogs, nobody cares and there so many douches having ZERO achievements but are the #1 spammer when it comes to social stuff. To come back to the management profiles: a classic CV is still much better because you are able to finetune and direct its content to the potential employee. One full-blown LinkedIn profile won't fit all -- a basic profile is more than sufficient and can be extended in a CV. A last note: when we (friends or colleagues) notice that somebody is extensively working on his/her public profiles (like LinkedIn) and adding information, achievements etc., we know => this guy is looking for a new job and we literally feel his despair. Sometimes it's good to let everybody know that you need a new challenge but again: regarding management jobs you need to be much more subtle and try to signal your strengths in a different way.
