I'm trying to decide whether having a profile on that site will help or hinder (or neither) my job search.
Opinions?

(29,098 posts)I personally hate it but now most HR departments pay close attention to your profile there. It's also a tool recruiters use a great deal...which is a mixed blessing I guess.
If you do create a profile there consider it like you would a resume.

(87 posts)but I get at least 1 or 2 emails from head hunters/recruiters a week. Helps me keep up on what is going on in the market place plus there are some really great networking groups you can join. I have a free account- they have promotional offers to get the upgraded account but so far I've not seen the need.
