Only one person (I think) has found me outside of everyone I found. But I didn't find everyone...

You found me.  I am very tricky.  Or not.

No one in the recruiting industry knows what mechanical engineers do, so that explains that.  I get everything from technician to mechanic.

that's like looking for architecture jobs. everyone's an architect! systems architect, software architect, etc

LinkedIn suggests that I might know several thousands of people that I have no connection to at all.  I have no idea what their algorithm is.  I think back when I first joined the recommendations were realistic. I was actually surprised it suggested a few people I knew from High School, even though I never input any of that information and we don't run in the same professional circles.

I finally and reluctantly signed up for LinkedIn a couple of weeks ago at the advice of our In-house recruiter (we have a couple positions open).  I did not list my internships since it was 29, 30, and 31 years ago. 

In protest, I am only accepting people in my network and not requesting to be in anyone's network. 

I am going to show "them", whoever "them" is.

You'll never meet hot single professionals with that attitude.

Oh my gosh I know. Do you know someone who went to Cal Poly?? I didn't go there, but have a coworker and know a few other engineering people in these parts who did. I think it's responsible for the many people in common who are presumably not on EB, or maybe it's just our west coast-ness...

yes. a couple of my coworkers and a couple not currently coworkers went there.

Then I blame Cal Poly. But really, I'm not mad about it.
