?? Looks good to me.

let's

Unless that would be let us?

That's exactly what it would be. "lets" is saying you are allowing something to happen. "let's" is proper there.

Also, Alex wouldn't notice anyway.

Dear Mister Stoudamire ...

Sounds like Stewart the comic book store owner from Big Bang Theory.

I now have business horse listed as a person I may know. No idea how. I delete cookies every few weeks and as far as I know I'm not connected to any of you gangsters in real life. The horse sure does have some wide connections.

are you saying his network has significant girth?

The Horse is like a business Magellan. The maps that he has surveyed over the business landscape are like a Northern Light guiding young businessmen through the darkness world of business.

P.S.: Business

A hero to us all!

He came and went, so to speak.

I'll take that epitaph.

I think it's bullshit that people can look at your LinkedIn profile completely hidden.

I think you have to pay for a subscription to search incognito.

How much do you go into job descriptions on your LinkedIn Profiles? As much as your resume? Because I saw they have a new app for openings searches based on your profile.

One thing for sure, though, is if I see a lot of adjectives in a person's profile as opposed to stated facts, i.e. "hard-working", "organized", "dependable", I automatically assume they are full of shit. I try to follow the rule of filmmaking: don't say, show.

"Here I have uploaded a video of my work day. Please note that I arrive 15 minutes early, and immediately head to my impeccably organized desk and continue to work diligently with the exception of two short bathroom breaks and a 28-minute lunch hour. Feel free to comment."

You definitely want to use key words for the type of jobs you'd want recruiters to call you for. IMO, that is the most important thing with LinkedIn. I agree with you, that adjectives are pointless. Anyone looking at your LI profile wants to know what your experience is, the rest they can figure out when they speak to you.

Another reason to use linkedin...

Yeah, I added striker to my profile today, and I just got a phone call from Blackpool FC.

Think Business Horse has been on vacation

If only there were a larger image. Or maybe two of them.

Shirley buying LInkedIn....Well Microsoft...but similar. $26.2 Billion. Microsoft is going to botch this. They have never really figured out the web services company thing. Just different DNA. Similar to the purchase of Expedia when I was at Microsoft, I expect it to get spun back off/sold in a few years.

Yeah, that was surprising. It sounds like we're going to try to let them continue to do their thing. LinkedIn had apparently kind of stagnated once they reached a near saturation point in the market and were trying to figure out how to continue to grow revenues.

BTW, MS didn't buy Expedia. They built it and later spun it off.

For LinkedIn, I think the biggest risk about being purchased by MS is the perception that it's no longer a neutral place for folks to store their employment history. Microsoft is an employer or competitor to a LOT of people who may feel less comfortable with putting their info in LinkedIn. We'll see.

That's right..I just had lots of folks on my team try to move the expedia team. Just does not seem to be in MSFT's DNA for services like this. Slate, Sidewalk.com, MSNBC, MSN, Music, MSN Direct, MSN QnA, MSN Spaces, Soapbox, MSN Groups, LinkExchange, and Encarta all have either been shutdown or spun-off.

I know everybody on the web needs a sugar daddy, but yeah, I see this as potentially a bad thing for people at Microsoft with coveted skills. Be pretty easy to filter people out of searches, no?

That's great.

I love the thought of Duncan sitting up late one night on his computer giggling to himself while creating this "resume".

Didn't even mention fundamentals.

Is it s a good or bad sign when your company's CEO request to connect via linkedin? Pro--Knows who you are, Con--Shouldn't the CEO of a nearly 3000 person company have better things to do with their time on a Sunday?

I guess this is as good a thread as any to say that, like wlu_lax6, I'm about to be a former Microsoft employee. My last day is next Friday.

I'm leaving the giant company world and going back to a startup, this time as VP of Engineering of a small security-focused company.

the Microsoft Alumni network annual fee is very expensive to just have access to the company store.

Yeah, I apparently get a year of that for free now. That was part of the form I filled out to let the company know I am leaving.
