It takes me an hour to get to the post       office (on foot!).              I can't comment on LinkedIn as no one that I know uses it.       My understanding (?) is that it is a networking site -- a       way to "get jobs".              Most of my colleagues have more than enough work without       any sort of "advertising" or "job mining". Makes you wonder       what the folks using it are lacking... (REAL contacts??)              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
