LinkedIn is just a big database to help recruiters with headhunting. It markets itself as social media but no one uses it that way.I also hate the premise of LinkedIn and was told by many people if I didn't have an account I would never be able to make "work connections" and never even get my resume looked at. This was of course not true and I'd even go as far to say that some jobs would rather not have you oversharing on any social media.
Rules for LinkedIn:
- Join only if you want to be headhunted by recruiters
- Ignore the social media features
- Only add the bare minimum info needed to make you appear in search results
- Don't bother if you're not in a high value profession
