Do you or do you know anyone from this forum who has a LinkedIN account? I'm thinking it could help employers notice me if they see who I've had forum discussions with. If my discussions help anyone on the forum that member can put a recommendation up on my LinkedIn account and employers can see it and it letss everyone know everyone.

There are a number of us on LinkedIn. There's even a SSC group there.

Personally I prefer to keep connections and especially recommendations to friends or people that I have worked with. For forum discussions, I'd just give the person a link to my profile here at SSC. That way they can see the discussions I've participated in.

More than a few of us on are Linked-In. It is like Gail said though, I would only recommend someone after a pretty long relationship that involves more than a few posts to a newsgroup.

Heh... WHICH forum discussions would you be talking about? You have precisely 1 post, so far. 😉

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

We have about 350 people in the SQLServerCentral.com linked in group and you're welcome to join.

I think showing off your profile and discussions is great for your resume if you've contributed positively in these forums. Send a link to your list of posts (available from your profile).
