If your job is relatively in-demand then LinkedIn is great. Recruiters periodically pepper you with invitations to talk about opportunities, which you can take or leave as desired. Think of it in part as a resume that is constantly available for anyone to find. It essentially turns the job search equation around so that the jobs come to find your resume, rather than vice versa.

Rurutia posted:The one thing that worries me about LinkedIn is discretion. If you're linked with your manager or boss, a sudden burst of activity can alert them to you looking for other jobs months before you're ready to say anything or are even sure you're leaving. I'm not quite sure how to deal with that, to be honest. So keep it periodically up-to-date (once a month or so) and they won't ever see a big flurry of change. Not much can change between each month of your employment anyway.

Where the gently caress did my linkedin profile content disappear to? All of my job history, etc. has just vanished and it's saying i'm 'just beginning' on my profile completeness. What the gently caress? I can't give an idea as to when this happened. It's just loving vanished. fake edit: It's visible in the iOS app, but the webpage is just blank? see: http://i.imgur.com/zwFhg0V.png e: Tried both Firefox and Chrome, the latter of which I wasn't even logged in on at the time so nothing weird there.

Yeh, actually. Poking around my connections are the same. Connections, Groups and Following appear, but nothing else. I suspect they fat-fingered the desktop view style, since the mobile app view style still displays the content fine. Apologies for the language earlier. I wasn't looking forwards to rewriting it all again after spending hours doing it the first time.

Boris Galerkin posted:2) How do you get an easy to remember profile URL like I've seen some people with, e.g., http://www.linkedin.com/in/timcook? I don't even know where I can set a username like that and my public URL is something like http://www.linkedin.com/pub/joe-schmoe/12/345/6q7, which is really ugly and forgetful. edit profile -> find the link under your profile and hit edit -> look to the right for 'customise your pbulic profile URL' and change it to whatever you so desire

For startup jobs, some companies occasionally post in Hacker News. More importantly though, you need to utterly immerse yourself in the 'scene' and make a reputation for yourself. That means lots of good posts on StackExchange, code pushes on Github, etc. As said above, they're not going to have any desire to train you. You need to show your cred in technology stacks that they care about so they know you can hit the ground running. This means you need to keep up-to-date on the languages/packages of the month and be proficient in full-stack solutions depending on how early in the process you want to get in. Basically, go make Hacker News your tech news site of choice and go from there.

I don't think I would ever give a copy of my passport to a company that wholesale agrees that MITM exploitation of email is a good idea. I struggle to give them even the basic info they ask for.
