Imo it's strictly for HR people and recruiters, not for us.Â
I've definitely gotten good gigs from it, but as a result of HR people contacting me, not because of anything I did. I'd say worth creating a profile and keeping it current, but not really visiting the site often or posting stuff to it.
I have never gotten anything from LinkedIn. It's like Facebook for people looking for a job.

Just curious - what do you all think of LinkedIn, especially when it comes to getting work? I’ve never thought much about it and so much work comes via word-or-mouth or existing contacts, I’ve never really had to. And all these invitations and reminders get a bit annoying… Is it something you think is important?
