[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to be on Linked In. No ifs, ands or buts.
It is not just for job seekers--in fact, I don't recommend using the Looking for Work button.
The listing should match your resume and the photo headshot should be good.
Anyone who hears your name for any reason may look you up there.
Prospective speaking engagements, job inquiries, will all use LinkedIn, too.

You don't have to like, to comment, to write for LinkedIn-you just have to be listed on it.[/quote]

This is a joke right?  Why would anyone NEED to be on LI?  So dramatic.  
It is a waste of time. [/quote]

DP.

Not a joke.  As a hiring manager, I look for consistency across LI and the resume - and check other online presences.  And as the prevalence of people holding multiple jobs grows, transparency and accuracy about employment status on LinkedIn becomes even more important.[/quote]

If I was looking for a job, I'd make sure my LinkedIn matched my resume. One time, a recruiter went on LinkedIn and advised me to make my LinkedIn match my resume. I hadn't wanted to do that because one of my past coworkers -- who barely did anything -- wanted me to provide him a description of "all the work we did together," so he could take credit for my accomplishments. I at least would make the employers and dates match the resume, if not the actual descriptions.
