Thanks. That makes GREAT sense. Turned off all my activity broadcasts. I forget that LI works like that sometimes.

check in your settings as to what is posted or shared, but i'm pretty sure job postings are not shared in the "news feed" section (like when you connect with someone.)

I am currently in the midst of a job search and have LinkedIn premium. If I apply for a job through the site, will my current colleagues (including my boss) to whom I'm connected be able to see this information? TIA
