Personally I don't accept contract either. No photo and no contracts normally indicates a fraudulent account.technogypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09467203775337179329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-56204543684852236432017-08-27T09:42:47.636-04:002017-08-27T09:42:47.636-04:00Does anyone outside sales and IT even use Linkedin...Does anyone outside sales and IT even use Linkedin?<br /><br />Yep, I use it to check up on contacts and folks I meet to see what they do and where.technogypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09467203775337179329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-80564685821703745472017-08-25T13:44:51.899-04:002017-08-25T13:44:51.899-04:00CRO biologist here...

That gets *much* easier if I know their background, which LinkedIn can often tell me.<br /><br />Same thing holds true for job interviews: for me, it's almost completely replaced PubMed for background research on the people I'll talk to when I go on an interview. It's especially useful for interviewers who would show up in PubMed as "J. Smith" or "S. Patel" or "X. Chen"--LinkedIn will let me identify the S. Patel who works at Company X doing Discipline Y.<br /><br />All of this assumes people have set up a profile, of course.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-8944231516899734082017-08-25T12:02:15.601-04:002017-08-25T12:02:15.601-04:00Surely your university careers service will have r...Surely your university careers service will have resources. Mine did an hour-long workshop at least 2-3 times a year. Occasionally they'd pick a student/staff member with a good profile to use as an example ^__^<br /><br />I think LinkedIn is more important for looking at other people than having your own profile. But if you want to look at other people properly, you need your own profile, and it has to be good.
