LinkedIn is just as futile as every other job search tool out there.
I’ve had more people put their ass on the line to get me hired that I know in person than I’ve ever had from people I’ve met online (but never personally met in person). Sadly, the people I know in person aren’t in what we’d call plum career fields (I have many friends in food service, hospitality, and if they’re not in those low wage Hell Holes, they’re in high paying fields that I’m utterly unqualified for like Engineering.) But I could literally make two phone calls and in 30 minutes have a fast food or retail job. I could spend MONTHS on LinkedIn trying to impress some middle aged middle managers with the hopes of landing something, and end up getting nowhere.
I’ve yet to land a true career – I use LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook – if it’s there, I use it. But I’ve yet to have luck getting even crappy low wage work via the internet, let alone break out of the crappy low wage retail jobs that are 99% of the non-agricultural and non-oil jobs in the Dakotas (where I live). Interpersonal relations have always worked better than those covered by the veil of the internet, where people rarely can get the full picture of a person’s potential.
