linkedin is kind of a bizarre concept
i think it'd be kinda indicative of how likely a given being is to be using social media on the job
thus making them less hireable, not really making them more hireable based on who they know..(?)
other than the social connections, what does it even say that a cv doesn't..? how a being posts on a professional social network? where, ya know, work isn't taking place.. /shrugs/
perhaps i'm too manufacturing brained to get it..
