Linkedin - Viewers of this profile also viewed...
Hey,
For those who use linkedin and have you current manager on it,
is it bad that some of the profiles i viewed are our company's competitors? (and companies that are within the industry/business line)
I honestly don't want my manager to know that i'm job hunting. but it showed under "the Viewers of this profile also viewed..."
insight?

linkedin is a social networking site, it might be business-oriented but it's still a social networking site. That being said you can always tell your manager your just viewing profiles of your friends and finding out what they are up to.A.A.S. in Networking Technologies

My boss is on it. My boss' boss is on it. My boss' boss' boss is on it.
You can always say that you're trying to meet your fellow counterparts at other companies so that you can talk shop and do a little knowledge swap. Linkedin isn't just a lead for jobs. That's actually what I (currently) use it for. -

If your manager cares about whose profile you've viewed then you likely have bigger problems that that...

It's an aggregated statistic. Nobody can see what profiles you are viewing besides their own (and that's only if you have that feature enabled).Hey,

I use it sometimes and get contacted fairly often about job offers. I also use it to network with my colleagues, TE members, and other professionals. It's a great site to market your resume/skills.

Throwing in that I too use it, and second on getting recruiters contacting me on a daily basis. There was actually a story this morning on recruiters using LinkedIn almost exclusively: the recruiter honeypot | Elaine Wherry

I'm on it, but I can't really say any more than that. I don't think I've ever been pinged by a recruiter on it or anything.
Unless you mean them asking to add you? I usually decline those.Latest Completed: CISSP

Holy jesus guy... You know you can very easily change your public URL to something a little more presentable (for if you want to give it to somebody for business purposes...or list on your resume)? Example...see my URL in my sig block.

Yup, I've been using LinkedIn for a while as well. I've got former coworkers, TE members, a couple of recruiters, and some colleague-of-a-colleague kind of connections on there.
I have, unfortunately, dropped a lot of connection-requests that have come to me either completely anonymously or simply ". . . has indicated they're a fellow member of [group name]". We're all professionals here, so I would hope anyone reaching out to another TE member would want to identify themselves and write a sentence or two in the little message LinkedIn sends so that it's not just a random, Facebook-style friend-request.
