I've had a few agents try to add me onto LinkedIn...
Should I or Should I not?
Thoughts appreciated

It depends whether you're a mature minded businessman or just a money grabbing code-monkey.Originally posted by themistry View Post
If you're the former, then yes, the more contacts the better.
The latter? WGAS? -
I do not add them as connections.
I can't think of a good reason other than I don't want them there."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

My fear is they suddenly have access to my connection lists etc and new people to cold call (contact) etc.
Should this be a worry?

I don't add them unless I have had a phone/email conversation first. Otherwise it feels just like they're spamming you and hoping to get a hit.Illegitimus non carborundum est!Comment

I think I have a couple but not too many. Apparently it leads to problems for pimps:

Yes. I started adding agents but have since dropped most of them again because of that kind of behaviour. Now I just have a couple I have met and my current pimp.Originally posted by themistry View PostMy all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment

I ignored a request from one that set me up for an interview six months ago.
I didn't get that gig either but that didn't stop him phoning up again last week to check my availability.Comment
