To everyone who feels this way, and has *some* influence: Please tell your
HR people this as well. I've been searching for a job for months, and
getting a LinkedIn account is 'highly recommended' by most job agencies,
and outright *required* for application to some companies.
Complaining here is complaining to the choir. Talk to the people who think
it's a useful tool and are requiring other people to use it, against their
own better judgment.
