My question is simple. Are you on LinkedIn or not? It is a big point of contention for some, as they don't see the benefit or drawback to being on LinkedIn. I posted a link that allows veterans a 1 year subscription, free, on the job-seeker level. This is huge! I actually got a job after my employer reviewed my LinkedIn, resume, and did their own background search. You can even apply to jobs with your profile or download it for resume purposes. So, again, my question is ARE YOU USING IT? I welcome debates concerning the pro's and cons. I just want to make sure everyone here is being competitive!

Here is my link if you would like to connect:

Sgt William Biggs thanks for the needed information. It is worth the network, I get a lot of job information from Recruiters and Hiring Managers.

Yes, I do have an active LinkedIn account, but cannot attest to any benefit or drawback to having it, as I have not had to "rely" on it for a position of employment, however, I still keep it updated as we can never be quite sure which direction this economy may go.

I'm on LinkedIn. It's a good site for jobs and to keep up with friends.
