re: #53 PT Barnum

I have generally found Linked in to be useless and I’m in IT.

I have to use it for work and I used it to get my job, but it’s not something I’m crazy about. My company pays for the super duper sales account for all of the account managers and I’m expected to use it to prospect. I’ve actually had better luck using my existing contacts that I inherited from the previous account managers along with just going out and meeting people in person.

That said, it’s a definite tool for job searching. The way it’s set up you can easily send dozens of job applications a day. I know. I did that for months last year.
