I've been in touch with a career counselor (because I'm pretty clueless when it comes to networking), but a few things she said didn't seem quite right. First of all, she recommended contacting IT professionals (my specialty is data storage) and just inviting them out to socialize/coffee. This seems weird - cold-calling random IT dudes to hang out? Even if she meant contacting IT recruiters, it still seems weird and awkward. I'm aware that I'm a bit of an introvert, but this just seems like it would be more off-putting than anything else. I could be wrong, though! She also mentioned removing the "Currently Seeking Opportunities" section of my LinkedIn profile - the logic was that recruiters or HR people will already know that I'm looking for work. If I send them my resume directly, then sure, they'll know - but what about everyone else? Also, removing the "Currently Seeking Opportunities" section knocks my profile down in rating, which can't be good. For background info, my job was outsourced at the end of October, so I don't have to worry about managers seeing my profile or whatnot. So does she have some sort of hidden wisdom that I'm not seeing, or should I look for another career counselor?
