I received an automatic email from Jeff Bullas (socia media marketing expert) telling me to delete my linkedin account. Though I knew it was automated and not personally directed to me I hate to say I agree with him. Some of us tend to neglect our linkedin account until we're in the hunt for jobs. You really have to read his email, see below.

Hi Fernando,
 
I was having a coffee with my good friend and fellow Entrepreneur Alex Pirouz…
 
Alex is the founder of Linkfluencer, the world's leading online LinkedIn training company as recognized by Inc Magazine.
 
As usual we started chatting about LinkedIn.
 
What we discovered is that when we talk to people who aren't really active on it, both he and I always seem to get the same response…
 
"LinkedIn?! That's just an online resume site isn't it?"
 
"It's just a place to get pitched for a new job." They say.
 
If you're one of these people and you;
  • Haven't updated your profile in 6 months
  • Don't plan to in the next 6 months
  • Don't want to start to leverage the power of LinkedIn to grow your business
My suggestion is to forget about LinkedIn now. Seriously, just delete your profile right now.
 
Go to tools, settings and delete your account – it's doing more harm than good for your personal brand.
 
Collectively, that's what Alex and I have decided to tell people.
 
Now, for those that are serious about leveraging the power of LinkedIn, let me tell you why I would tell my readers to delete their profiles, and what you can do to turn it around... Read the rest of the article here.
 
Cheers,
  
I do have to admit I can't remember when was the last I updated my linkedin account so I went ahead and made sure everything are updated. I really have to interact with my peers on linkedin as much as I do on facebook. Hey its for my career benefits. You should too.
