As an investigator that vets potential hires for a living: don't ever use social media, it can only work against you and you'd be amazed at how many people don't get good jobs because of too many memes or dumb clubs listed on their linkedin

So linkedin is for people who want to stalk old coworkers and facebook is for people who want to stalk old classmates?

I get drunk and randomly friend request people. I've got directors, politicians, etc on my list. Fun to see whose in my extended network.

LinkedIn is totally useless for job hunting though.

Nope, recruiters find them, then HR interviews them, then we compile a background check and give them an assessment that shows any potential issues with hiring said person

If it is anymore or any less than the same resume you have up on Monster then it's probably not doing you any favors

yeah why would you get drunk and go on LinkedIn when you can just get drunk and go to parties, where being inebriated can actually literally aid you in making friends and discovering job opportunities
