Just curious if anyone in here was on the site. It is basically a professional networking site where you can link to people you know and in doing so see who they know. This helps if you see a job opening at a company and you see your friend knows someone there.That is a great thing to get your resume in the hands of someone at a company besides HR.

I am. I believe Chad is the one that tipped me off to it. I never really did anything but sign up. I'll work on that when I get home.

I posted about this over a year ago. I am a LION on linkedin. You can check out my profile here. http://www.linkedin.com/in/chadcolfer

I get more e-mails about jobs from this site then any others I am a member of.

**Ender81** · 02-19-2008, 02:29 PM

Very cool, I'm trying to step up my game a little on my networking. With the economy and job market the way they are right now it just seems to make sense to do things like this so you aren't behind the 8 ball if you do find yourself or a friend without a job. *knocks on wood lol*

**Ender81** · 02-19-2008, 02:32 PM

Oh and I am http://www.linkedin.com/in/donaldharer
I'm really looking for people in the Allentown area but I'm not overly picky lol.

underpressure02 · 02-19-2008, 02:33 PM

feel free to invite me to your network.

**Ender81** · 02-20-2008, 08:47 AM

I did actually thanks for adding me.

bluengoldsti · 02-26-2008, 04:07 PM

You can add me to your network (pm me for my info), but I only have 8 contacts on there. I don't know how much it would help. lol

**Ender81** · 02-28-2008, 03:00 PM

Very cool, I shot you a pm.

bump from the dead, I am currently taking a class that deals with linkedin a great deal and I know the site has expanded a good amount in the past few years, so i figured I'd see if there were any people on here still using it/new members. Feel free to search for me - Justin Yeretzian

**TROLL** · 03-02-2011, 01:13 AM

I'm on there... I respond to adds and sometimes add others but haven't spent much time on there.
How are people using this and making it beneficial?

It's pretty cool to connect to other classmates I had no idea were on there and I have also found people from my job and connected with them.

The biggest benefit of linkedin (I think) is the group function which allows you to join a group with like-minded people/professionals and talk to people you normally would not be able to since you can only formally "connect" with someone if you know them.

I am waiting to be accepted into a number of groups so I'll see how things go and report back.

Sublime1304 · 03-02-2011, 01:25 AM

Im signed up too but it never really caught on to me. I might create a new login and start over

**Ender81** · 03-02-2011, 07:39 AM

I've used it to get a few interviews but also I've been able to help people connect up and find work. You really get out of it what you put into it. Some of the newer features like status's have really helped improve the site. I know at least one person got an interview after someone I knew saw my comment on that person's status. Also you really can't go wrong meeting more people in the business community.

Also I am happy to see this come back from the dead lol.
