Finally deleted my LinkedIn account!

After putting my account into “hibernation” for the past few weeks, I finally closed it. But I’m still looking for work. Thankfully I can still find positions (SRE and software dev) by just going directly to the company’s site and finding a Jobs page.

Good luck to everyone else out there looking for work!

    I’d love to do this, but I used LinkedIn to find my current job, & I’ll probably need it to find the next one (when the time comes).

    I keep it up to date, like a kind of running CV, but otherwise I don’t interact with it.

      This is how I use it. I’ve found a couple of jobs on LinkedIn. I’m currently happy at my job and not interested in dealing with passive searching so I check in maybe once a week to see visitors. Otherwise I don’t touch it at all.

      running CV

      Little bit off-topic and nitpicky, but a CV is by nature a running thing. The name even comes from a Latin word for “run”.
