I get them through LinkedIn. I have a well-written, informative profile that's peppered with Big Data buzzwords.

LinkedIn and company websites mostly.

Good idea, this is useful. What do you use as your source data? LinkedIn jobs?

I use glassdoor and LinkedIn to do that.

All my jobs are from LinkedIn, via recruiters for various companies. In fact, I use the number of messages I get per week as a proxy for how well or poorly the market is doing.

Many people post their professional career on LinkedIn. Again, it seems easy to find this information through public sources.

I find LinkedIn recommendations works pretty well too.

I’ve also had lucrative offers and contracts come by way of LinkedIn.

I also find LinkedIn very helpful.

I got my current job through LinkedIn too. Hadoop / big data position. I've got quite a few recruiter spam type messages though, but the one I got the job through was an in house recruiter for the company. I figured they were just doing key word searches as my profile isn't anything special. In my profile I put a good paragraph about each of my past positions highlighting experience with the technologies I wanted to work with. 5 or 6 months later this job came up.

LinkedIn generated offers for me. It's all I can say.

The LinkedIn profile was a great suggestion. Thank you!

I get plenty, but only when I set my LinkedIn account to open for jobs, and they’re usually crappy jobs.

You're assuming that LinkedIn is a reliable source.

wtracy | karma 4074 | avg karma 2.74 · | 2019-01-10 20:47:36

LinkedIn is one starting point.

I've found ones that pull from LinkedIn do best, but I treat that as more of a comprehensive CV that I would cut down to be a resume for a particular job.
