Interesting. Until recently my LinkedIn profile was a bit of a mess and includes most of the things I've been involved with.

Since most careers advice involves 'tailoring' your CV I'm not sure how applicants will benefit from this. If I wanted to apply for different roles in different companies requiring different skill-sets, what do I put on my profile?

Edit: After reading the LinkedIn blog post, it seems there's more to this than simply sending an employer a link to your profile. Suggestions of who works in the company might be useful but that's something I'd have done anyway.


So is Amazon going to sue over this? (I kid, hopefully.)

Still, I wonder how this will work out.


awful blog(?) spam
