On How to Make a LinkedIn Profile That Will Actually Help You Get a Job
But what if the people at your current job see that you've said you're looking for a new job? That would be... not great for lots of people.

I got approved for an awesome airline-miles rewards credit card from AmEx last night! I'm so excited. Alaska, it might take a year or so, but I'm comin' for ya!

On How to Stop Going into Credit Card Debt for the Sake of "Points"
This is really interesting and relevant to my interests. I just got an offer for an airline miles rewards card, and I was planning to research it a little more tonight and potentially apply. I don't fly very often, but I'd love build up points so that when I do fly, it'll be much cheaper for me. I liked seeing an article about a different way that credit cards can be tricky and hard to get away from once you've started. Thanks for the different perspective!

On Charting Your Percentages of Pay Spent on Housing Responses
This is cool, Mike! It would be interesting to see how these results correlated to where people live (by state or just by urban/suburban/rural). I didn't get to comment on the earlier post so I'll just throw out that I spend about 27% of my take-home pay on rent for a shared two-bedroom apartment in the SF Bay Area.

On Recruiting Via LinkedIn
Yes, I had a recruiter contact me recently. Out of curiosity, I looked at the job posting she said I was "perfect" for... and it had nothing to do with my experience or what I wanted to do with my career. I honestly have no idea how she found me. But luckily I had just started a new job, so I could honestly say that I was in a new position and was not currently looking for other opportunities, but thank you for thinking of me!

On Working Families Flexibility Act Not So Flexible for Workers
I'd choose PTO so that I could take a vacation or, hell, just be able to go to the doctor without having to lose out on my income.

On How to Make a LinkedIn Profile That Will Actually Help You Get a Job
Understood, but the advice in the article was "say in the summary at the top of your page that you’re looking for new roles (if you are) in whichever industry, company, continent...". To me, that seems like the wrong way to do it because it could backfire if your boss or indelicate co-worker sees it.
