I’ve just seen an advert for LinkedIn premium

You’d have to be conceited enough to use Linkedin for free

So I’m interested..who on here regularly uses LinkedIn and why?

I find it a useful way of connecting with recruitment consultants to get job offers that aren’t necessarily listed. I’d never post anything though. I know people leverage their presence on there to more prominent roles, but I just find openly loving work so much to be absolutely cringeworthy. I just couldn’t. I’m working because they pay me too well to quit, but I won’t think about work for a second as soon as I’ve retired.

I’m on there because I’m job hunting. Needs must.

I use it to network, all the events for educational points are posted there & occasionally for a different job.

Why would you be on linkedin if not to network or job hunt?

I think it’s grown in general use a bit since Twitter nosedived. At least for people who see everything as being about work. The kind of people who were on LinkedIn anyway are on it *more* now.

Ah, I've probably used it less over the past few months so haven't noticed much difference.

Networking. Interesting ideas from interesting people. I mostly lurk.

I’m on there and I don’t pay

I joined to “network” but it seems to be a business Facebook, so I rarely log in now.

I'm really not that interested in work or a career

I just get on with my job

It's enough

I am not even slightly ambitious

I don't want responsibility for people

I'm certainly not interested in the people I work with (or for) and even less interested in customers

It's just work facebook for nosey bastards
