Did those friends of yours that were recruited through Linkedin apply for those jobs first, or were they approached?
Every job website I have used gives the option of uploading a CV and a profile so prospective employers can gauge you without bothering with going through the job listing process, possibly approaching you if they feel you could be suitable, but I've never been approached. Among the sea of Linkedin users that are more qualified than I am, I don't feel like I'm any more likely to be approached through Linkedin than I am through any other website. Responding to job listings or cold calling a company myself at least narrows down my competition to those who apply. |

My CV is a document that I wrote, a Linkedin profile is what Linkedin wants my CV to be.

I have multiple CVs depending on what type of job I'm applying for.
So from what I'm gathering from your minimal and typically sarcastic responses is that your friends were approached by someone through Linkedin, and it could happen to me too if I put time into my Linkedin profile, as opposed to any other job site that offers a profile. |

your responses are chock full of know-it-all little kid syndrome
all i'm really saying is stop being so fucking convinced that if you don't understand or know anything about it, it must not be worth any time why hamstring yourself in any way, register on all the job sites, create profiles on all the social job networks who exactly are you trying to impress |

And the reason why I'm not on all of the job websites just comes back to my original comment, it just feels more productive applying for jobs myself than it does creating and maintaining an online profile and still not getting any leads from that avenue. Actually I lie, I did once get a lead, there was a guy who was in a band I once recorded who sent me a message asking me how I'm going and linked me to some of his new music. I responded commenting on his music and asked for his Facebook and/or phone number and I never heard from him again. Apparently he doesn't check his Linkedin often and the email he provided on his profile is a work related email, the inbox of which is filled with unread automated job search and Linkedin shit. I later found that out when I happened to find him on Facebook. He's based in a different part of the country now. But it's good that your friends got picked out by someone on Linkedin. I do like the idea of a job finding me and not the other way around, despite being told by everyone that a job won't just fall into my lap. Unless you're already working in the field. I work in a bakery and want to work in the audio industry, the only way I figure I can get an audio job through my current field is to probe customers who mention in passing that they work at blah blah radio station or blah blah TV network and impress them with my customer service. As they say, it's easier to get a job once when you've already got a job and I have seen for myself the leverage it can provide. Otherwise I could always go from front-of-house to a trainee baker position. Sorry if that last bit came off as too "know-it-all" but I do welcome any ideas.

Perhaps where I went wrong with Linkedin is not showing enough interest for BBQ invites. Social media expert Juliana, what do you think?

Oh I know but she is a social media expert after all, she said so herself, that's gotta be at least doubley experty than anyone who doesn't claim to be an expert.
Not that I'm an expert on experts, I should make that expertly clear. |

shallowed i know it's from "your experience" but you have very little of it
i mean if you're still primarily doing walk ins then you haven't exactly entered the professional sphere |

If there's one thing I can't pretend to be, it's a highly experienced professional.

I guess it depends on the skill level, training and experience needed to do the job...
So I guess being a dishwasher, general labourer, cleaner - I'm a child and family worker and don't consider myself a professional. You don't need any training or any particular skills to do my job. |

the nature of breast cancer awareness is that with this kind of exposure soon everyone will be aware of it, i suggest changing the title of the image to 'I dont just LIKE pictures of topless lesbian family friends, I LOVE them!' and then science can roll around in that sweet sweet fb likes $$. Its digital a bit like bitcoin dont worry it's all science stuff.
