Most of the comment I have seen show traditional in the box thinking rather tan out of the box thinking using LinkedIN in a passive way, as a virtual CV will not generate much activity, but if you are proactive, learn to use it, LinkedIN is a powerful tool for job search, networking and to generate business.

LinkedIN requires creative and proactive thinking, just like face to face networking. LinkedIN provides tools to research target companies, to access contacts in these target companies, to research interviewers, it is also a powerful business tool if you know how to use it.
