It takes too long to get introduced to a targeted contact - frequently more than a month. By then, any position that you were contacting him/her about has likely been filled. Surely, there has to be a better way. LinkedIn is worthless for non-subscribers. It takes too long to get introduced to a targeted contact – frequently more than a month.

Via that system I already got a job offer and a lot of contacts. Maybe you give it a try as well and compare the two services.

We on the old continent use Xing (http://www.xing.com), formally known as OpenBC (Open Business Club). Via that system I already got a job offer and a lot of contacts. Maybe you give it a try as well and compare the two services.

But for over 2 years before I started here, I've used LI, primarily as a tool to manage my professional network. It has actually led to my finding and being offered jobs (including my current one :) although I didn't actively work it. The combination of my online LI profile and blog presence coupled with my passive professional networking/event attendance led to various offers. Hi Allen,
