I got one job from there. -- nm - loosilu Feb 3, 18:18
I deleted mine many years ago and have since landed two jobs via Twitter alone. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 3, 17:49 2
- That’s more common in your field though, right? -- nm - spamlet Feb 3, 17:50 1
  - Hard to say. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 3, 18:02
If you can flesh it out, do it. Better to not have one at all if it’s bare. -- nm - Mop Feb 3, 16:58 2
- I agree with Mop. And that reminds me, I need to update my LinkedIn profile. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 3, 17:00
- I put it on private until I could fix it up/get it fixed up -- nm - Flavorize Feb 3, 16:59
Kim and I have this debate a lot. I believe that when people google you, it's likely to be the first business result they see. - David Feb 3, 16:21
As a hiring manager, I 100 percent look at people’s profiles. -- nm - Dark Callisto Feb 3, 16:20 7
- I was afraid this was going to be the consensus—I’m going to have someone fix mine up then -- nm - Flavorize Feb 3, 16:55 6
  - wait what? why can't you just bring in info from your existing resume? -- nm - Beaker Feb 3, 17:18 2
    - I totally can...Just want it to have "the look" needed. Maybe I'll take a stab and see what people think -- nm - Flavorize Feb 3, 17:21 1
      - that was going to be my second comment. ST is good at crowd-sourcing shit :) -- nm - Beaker Feb 3, 17:22
  - I paid somebody online like $200. It was money well spent. - David Feb 3, 17:09 2
    - I'm looking and $90 is low and $500+ is the high. Is a "banner image" worth it? The guy who punched up my resume can do it for $115 (no banner) - Flavorize Feb 3, 17:13 1
      - Is there an example? It sounds too ostentatious. -- nm - David Feb 3, 17:23
I imagine depends on the industry. for me 100% necessary. part of my job is pretty explicitly having connections. -- nm - mafic Feb 3, 16:10
The vibe I get is, depending on the industry, it’s vital. -- nm - Volnelk Feb 3, 16:03 2
- Basically. -- nm - loosilu Feb 3, 18:19
- agree -- nm - rollo Feb 3, 16:35
