. You can't just wake up and start sending people jobs opening. You make friends first. Join in group discussion and say them a wish or congratulation in whatever they have done or achieve before talk about jobs.

Bros,
I meant sending a friendly message to HR personnel. I understand some persons got job by submitting their resume on career portals of companies while other sent their resume to HR persons of various companies.

Why I am a bit curious is because I have been getting updates on my LinkedIn profile of companies and people of repute checking up my profile while some request that I add them up.

I created a thread asking of the significance of people checking your linkedin profile but I would need no clarification on this.

Forumite, kindly shed more light please.

Speaking from personal experience I can categorically tell you that LinkedIn is very effective. It's not a holy grail and sometimes it can be overrated.

But nonetheless it's still very effective. I have had some job request from it.

The first was from Eat n Go their Head HRM asking if am interested in a particular role (wasn't keen on it coz I was engaged) few weeks later (like a month) that same job got published online.

And just recently I was contacted again by another HR referring me to a position in another company with the phone number of the HR.

All this are done without me making contact with any of them, I just tallored my profile to a specific position, and state am seeking for new opportunities.

And yes all the job contact have had is for that particular position.

And less I forget I have lots of connections, shud be over 1000 with 60% or more HR. And I got an impressive profile picture.

And yep LinkedIn is gradually been filled with spam, particularly in messages which is a turn off.

But nonetheless from experience I know it's a good tool.

patience is the key.
