Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
would it behoove us to ask the mods/admin to make a COAR group? I made one for my alum class year.
LinkedIn is how I got my contract gig which turned me into a lazy government employee--finally!
PM inbound...

I wouldn't join a group that's associated with my private life. LinkedIn is a professional circle for me. I keep my work life and personal life separated online as much as possible.Originally Posted by muddywings

Credit TFOGGER : Liberals only want things to be "fair and just" if it benefits them.
Credit Zundfolge: The left only supports two "rights"; Buggery and Infanticide.
Credit roberth: List of things Government does best; 1. Steal your money 2. Steal your time 3. Waste the money they stole from you. 4. Waste your time making you ask permission for things you have a natural right to own. "Anyone that thinks the communists won't turn off your power for being on COAR15 is a fucking moron."
Indeed, but I don't want to get a job offer from THEM...The NSA already has us all LinkedIn.

LinkedIn is a great tool; I used it to find my current job and I've helped several other connections find positions using LinkedIn.
I don't get any marketing emails and it's pretty easy to control what kinds of email updates you get. I've never minded being contacted by recruiters and I always respond thanking them for reaching out. You never know when you may need a good recruiter.
I'm open for PMs as well.
Close to that for me....I don't see the benefit of it. If it works for you, great.
Perhaps you misunderstood. Insofar as spam is concerned, I get limited spam and connection requests from people I don't know. I do have many connections, most are people I have directly worked with.
My take on LinkedIn is, for the most part, if you can't pick up the phone and call someone you're interested in linking with, you probably shouldn't ask. There are lots of people I've met once or twice, or know vaguely through someone else that I do not link.

I use LinkedIn to reconnect with people I worked with years ago but lost contact with or to extend the contact radius (i.e., make a connection with friends of friends). It's set up so I rarely get spam. As brutal and JoeT said, keep it professional, don't make it Facebook.
Bingo!

I got a year contract off of LinkedIN. I get no spam at all from fake recruiters.
This ^^^^
I don't have any issues with Linkedin and in fact, it has worked to my advantage and seems to be working for me now as I look to make a change in my career path.
