It's true, I'm looking for a change for my career. After some prodding from my collegues, I put up a profile on Linked in. Here it is.Constructive criticism welcome
PS It occurred to me you might need to be a member to view my page. Oh well....
G'day Brownout,
I got an invitation to linked in by guy on another forum and haven't done anything as I know jack all about it. Would you mind explaining a bit about it as I'm always a bit suss when I get invites from a guy I've never met.
I am a member of LinkedIn, but I get the following message when I click on your link ...
"You and this LinkedIn user don’t know anyone in common
You can only view the profiles of users within your network. However, as you add connections, you may discover people you know in common."

Well, not that I know all that much. It's a social networking site for professionals. You can post a resume, put up a blurb about what your specialities are, get networked wtih other's in your profession, join directed discussion groups, be contacted by employers, etc. I'm just getting started myself. Joining and using the service is pretty easy. Not sure how useful it is yet.

As for LinkedIn? My niece got me into it several years ago and it was more a PITA than a useful tool. Especially now being retired I would choose to be LinkedOut. I never really did see it as a viable networking tool, maybe for some fields but not engineering fields. Maybe it will work for some I just never cared for it.
I can't remember if I mentioned this yet in this thread, but I got my software development job by using LinkedIn. Helped me connect with just the right people in my field of interest.
