Not sure why you'd post about your lack of LinkedIn integrity. You're pretty much just some kind of Linkedin whore now.

Been standard for a while.

I actually got contacted by a recruiter about a position the other day. We'll see how it goes.

Anyone who's been on LinkedIn for more than a week has probably gotten a ton of bullshit endorsements and isn't under any other impression what they are.

Two weeks ago I got contacted by a recruiter about a job opening through LinkedIn. Ended up getting the job and I'm starting on the second. So I guess what I'm saying is, make a profile just for the hell of it.

Also, as a general FYI, I came to this thread to post a request; If you are interested in a company, please don't message/connect with people and attempt to "just have coffee" to "learn more about the industry/company".
Please have some loving tact and state a clear agenda and offer a reason why I should get up early to have coffee with you. Unless you are a hyper-connected VC I don't care about "putting me in touch with your network". If I had a job opening I would have posted it, assclowns.

I work 60+hrs a week and I have a young child and another on the way.
I don't have time to meet with every goddamn goober that thinks it would be "cool" to work at the company I work for.

I get about 2 of these requests a week from friend-of-a-friend type things.

That's a pretty clearly stated agenda actually.

They want to know what you're looking for so they don't waste their clients time.

Been a while since I've seen the comments get so hostile towards someone.

I don't think I've ever seen the reason why they know me when accepting.

About two weeks ago the recruiter of a top notch corporation sent me a connection request in Linkedinout of the blue (I have been out of their industry for a while). I checked their vacancies webpage and I found they have recently published a 2-year training programme I'm hugely interested in, and this dude is the one in charge of it. I should apply and send him a message through Linkedin but I've never faced this kind of situation, any tips on how should I approach this?

Connect with him, and then send him an inmail asking about the position.

Year end has ended, and vacation season is right around the corner.

Have you connected with any recruiters? All the boards I've ran into are just spam.
