A lot of people have just their job titles listed under "experience" while others have full résumé-style descriptions. Is more information always better here?

First of all, thanks HiroProtagonist for making this thread, knowing how to use LinkedIn looks like it is a great boon to your career, and with a very good OP to boot.

My question, for now, is:

I'm not in the US, and I want to focus (for now at least) on getting a job around my region, but I don't want to completely shut out any possibility of getting a job in a foreign country (I can dream, right? :allears:). Am I just over-thinking this and I should just go for adding foreign contacts or should I stick to local contacts? Also, should I add my information on my domestic language or should I just go for full-on English?

You may be over-thinking this. I don't know what your field is but within a day of joining groups on LinkedIn, I've seen a dozen overseas jobs posted.

Couple questions: How do you find recruiters?
Second, how do you handle making 3rd degree connections, what's the best way to phrase the request?

Yeah that's been around a month or two now. Good stuff.

She got ripped apart on the internet for that, and at least two other similar responses. In all three the line "I suggest you join the other Job Bank in town - oh wait there isn't one" is used.
