There are already loads of work-/job-/cv-related social networks out there (Polywork is one of the more recent examples) ... none of them have the cachet (or staying power) of LinkedIn [so far]
I wish you well in trying to build something new ... but I'm already on too many social networks, and won't be joining any more (I've been deactivating accounts over the past several months because they're either too low traffic, or too hard to keep up with)
I'd actually like to see Microsoft leverage LinkedIn as some kind of universal identity platform - they've got LI, they've got Azure, they've got O365, they've got GitHub[0][1][2] ... why should I have to get a new identity every time I change employers? Unify the whole shebang (albeit with an alias to the new employer, and being locked-out of previous employers' data)
