The thing about job searching is its kinda the opposite of privacy. Your shouting from the rooftops. Also the connections are important in linkedin because it allows me to give and recieve recommendations. Then its as good a place as any to have your online resume. That being said I don't really know how much of my employment history have been effected by it. I think my last job the person likely found me on it but the one before that was from a tech conference where places had booths looking for talent. Im not sure on one previous to that and on some contract work I did. So Im not sure I can answer is it worth it. Just that you gotta have something or your going to be limited to jobs you send resumes to alone.
