OT: looking for a job

[Michael Tewner]

I understand your dislike for Social Networks, but as a hiring manager at
my current position, the first thing I did was try to find you on LinkedIn.
Not having a LinkedIn profile is going to make it unnecessarily more
difficult to find a position. You don't need to post anything, you don't
need to read anyone's else's posts; I do highly recommend, though, that you
have a well thought-out (and updated) profile on LinkedIn.
