LinkedIn is a great way to stay in touch with former colleagues. You can also share your professional thoughts via this social network. It is also used by recruiters, which can check out your professional status and reach out to you. Due to the fact is fairly easy to contact someone via LinkedIn for a job you are offering, it can also lead to annoyance on the receiver part. Most of the messages send by recruiters seems to be copy-and-paste messages, where they only have to put in the proper name of the receiver on top of the message.

If a recruiter wants to have a message back from me, please follow the rules stated below. I like to see it more as someone applying for a job I’m offering :-).
