Applying for Employment through LinkedIN Profile or Employer Websites

I fear LinkedIn because so many people can set up fake profiles. Now if the company has a link directly on there website then I might give it a go.

As far as linkedin, it would depend. If a hiring person was putting out there, "looking for __________" send me a cover letter and resume type of thing I would be all over it.
A lot of the jobs that are only posted on their company websites are posted on indeed.com and simplyhired.com

was this a posting on Linkedin, or on the company/external site?
only thing i'm dismayed about, you can't post your cover letter separately anymore.....back in january, they took that away, now if you want to send a cover letter, it has to be in the same document as your resume, instead of the text box they had.....
