Le me first say that I don't work for LinkedIn :).

However, it has been quite helpful for me. A year ago, I was not happy with my job. I worked hard and long hours and felt like I was going nowhere. At the same time I didn't try looking for a new one because I didn't have enough confidence in my work experience.

All that changed when a HR manager from a different company found me through LinkedIn. We clicked really well. I am getting paid more than what I used to and I love my job. I also got promoted a few months ago.

Since that experience, I have changed my attitude about job hunting. Now, I am always on the look out for the next big opportunity. LinkedIn helps with that without me putting in too much work.

FYI, I have no endorsements on my profile. Just my basic resume.



Yup, instead of you finding jobs, jobs finds you. Which totally changes the leverage to favor you.
