Toolmaker51, I know what you mean about LinkedIn. Lately I seem to reject most of my LinkedIn invitations - I am getting more selective in my old age. However, LinkedIn is now becoming the app of choice for most professional headhunters. There are all sorts tricks of the trade to peppering in key words into your LinkedIn profile so your name comes up on the first two pages of the headhunters search criteria.

Funny about being listed as a reference and LOL to those when they want to land their next job. One thing I did learn is not burning any bridges with past employers no matter how much satisfaction it would be to give them some "advice". It seems there are far less than six degrees of separation now with all the social media available.
