IMO the best way to use it is for professional networking. Add the people you work with at your current job. If one of them (or you) leaves, you have a reasonable avenue to get in contact with them again, either for jobs or just catching up.
- JohnFen 3y agoI just gather phone numbers and email addresses and add these people to my own records. There's no need to bring a third party into this.
- sanderjd 3y agoOk so I worked with you a decade ago, you have my phone number or email address, but you aren't on linkedin. I remember you and I'm interested in what you've been up with for the last decade, so I go look for you on linkedin, but I can't find you. I shrug and forget about it. Or maybe I also wrote down your phone number or email address along with your name. I remember you and get curious what you're up to. Can't find you on linkedin so I have no idea. But I have nothing to talk to you about, I just wondered what you were up to. So I don't email you. I shrug and move on. Oh well. This is fine. But it's better if I can just go see what you've been up to like I can with everyone else I've worked with.
