I created a Linkedin profile last August, but didn't do much with it. When I started working on my profile today, it had one out-of-date job and no other experience/education listed. My profile "progress" was dismal. I'm proud to say it's all up to date, and now my progress is 85%.
The site has an import resume option, but I didn't notice that until I had all my information manually entered. I did find the import contacts option quite handy however, inviting quite a few people to connect that I had in my Gmail address book. On a side note, I love having my Gmail addressbook automatically synchronizing between Gmail (online), Thunderbird (on my laptop), and my Windows Mobile phone (anywhere I go). I also love how Gmail imports so easily into other online applications like Linkedin.
If you want to connect, look me up at www.linkedin.com/in/hirethatredhead. I've also now placed a Linkedin button on my the sidebar of my main job site at www.hirethatredhead.com. I've been told that getting a job is all about networking. I figure it's important then to use as many tools and opportunities to network as possible, as long as it's still manageable.
