FROM A LINKEDIN CONTACT ABOUT “LIVELINESS”
*** begin quote ***
I decided to perform a small test of my own today… by simply sending out recommendation requests to those people I have actually worked with (as opposed to all the recruiters that are in my network). I’ll et you know the final results… but I’m already getting replies from people who have taken over colleagues email addresses at companies asking me who I am!!! Not a real good sign.

Amazing what you find out when you look!
Here’s another reason why you should never ever use your current employer’s email in LinkedIn.
I rant about this all the time. Not your current employers! Not your ISP! Not gmail, yahoo, or whatever! It has to be from your own domain name.
Like “reinke.cc”!
No excuses. No reason not to. You’re supposed to be a pro, professional, it can be done for well under $100 bucks a year. It’s probably in the 60$/year range. That’s a little more than a dollar a week.
There’s no excuse for it.
