networking through linkdin

i have always found it to be kind of odd but recently i have made a lot of connections through my college. People I knew or had classes with or just went to the same school. Has anyone had great success with linkdin and making connections. I know a few people who have gotten positions out of linkdin but not many I am just interested to see if this is really a viable source for making great networking connections.

  • Yes!  I use LinkedIn for myself and for my website/business.  I have never been in a position where I was seeking employment via LinkedIn but I can certinaly vouch for it's networking capabilities.  I would advise joining, connecting with people from past and present and joining some Groups that are in your field.  The people you connect with in Groups are typically very active memebers.  GL!

    I haven't seen it pay off for "great networking connections" but it has certainly kept my face and career front and center among former colleagues, who I might need to turn to at some point for my next job.  Just being able to send them a message after I've long forgotten their email works wonders.  I can't even imagine where I'd be now if this website existed at the beginning of my career.
