Several years ago I noticed that I spent a lot of time creating my linked in profile, and got absolutely nothing in return for it.
After that I started asking people if they had EVER gotten a job on LinkedIn. One person said yes. Several people said the know one person who had gotten a job on LinkedIn. I have asked a lot of people.
Based on this I seriously doubt it is a good use of time for most job seekers. At the end of the day, it's another social media site that gives you a little endorphin rush when someone "likes" your status — but its not much
(if anything) more.
