LinkedIn for finding a job?



ORIGINAL POST

Hi,

My career coach is insisting that my strategy for finding a job as finance manager in HK must include LinkedIn. (to have a great profile and to spend time connecting with various people from HK)

However, I just hate LinkedIn (and Facebook) because when I was working in London all my colleagues

were spending sooo much time during working hours on Facebook and LinkedIn.



Did you get your finance job using LinkedIn?


Thank you in advance,

My experience is that not many people use LinkedIn.

SOme people on there probably don't even know they're on it, as I was surprised one day to find myself on it with all my professional details. (!!??)

headhunters use linkedin as a key tool in researching potential candidates. i am getting contacted almost on a weekly basis...

(though not looking to switch jobs)


if you hate it, don't use it. it's just one more tool to increase your chances of landing a job (like writing CVs, drinking in stormies, etc.).

Hi MarathonHK and cookie09.

thanks for your reply.

MarathonHk : how come you were on LinkedIn with your details without you to know it???

Was it a joke from one of your friends?
