I went through Stairmasters a few days ago to send connection requests to goons (didn't get far though because I couldn't find the "Connect" option for most people). Of course these goons can't vouch for me, but I'm using LI as a general networking tool to meet people in industries or geographic locations that I'm interested in. If I ever have a related question, I'll have name/email address to contact. By the same token, I'm happy to accept any connection requests thrown my way. For people who are in Stairmasters but aren't accepting/sending connection requests, why are you in the group? I'm also in a weird (self-imposed) situation because I'm avoiding people I've worked with in my current job (of 9 years). I don't want to tip off my office that I'm finally fed up with them and I don't want to freak out clients who will be unhappy with my departure. As a result, my sad little Contact List consists primarly of friends, family, and a few former (happy) clients. However, I've backed up my work address book so the minute I give notice, I'll be spamming EVERYBODY. On a different topic, LI's blog has a bunch of articles with general LI tips or geared toward Jobseekers. In particular, I found this article helpful: How to Get a Job with Your Dream Employer.

hitension posted:PennoyerNeff- You're probably all over this but do be aware that LinkedIn is very, very searchable. It's usually the first result (even above Facebook) when I google a person these days. There are ways to make your profile information only visible to contacts, but nothing's ever really secret on the internet. Thanks for the heads up. Yes, I'm aware LI is searchable. The plus side to being piss-poor at self-marketing is that nobody knows me by my LI name. =\
