Comment by AncoraImparo | Hacker News Reader

This is very much how I look at the industry, its just that everyone I seem to talk to at the minute is only interested in rails!! C coders, by the dozens? Is there any chance you can put me in contact with a few people? It would be much appreciated. If you like, I can send you my email address, and we can even talk a while so you know I am not just some kid who wants a better deal.

My linked in info is in my profile.

I'm in New York.

And my clients are Start-ups.

:-)

EDIT: And I AM NOT A RECRUITER.. :-)

Thanks! I added you on linked in.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Just a note: you're the one looking for a job. Shouldn't you at least, in addition to adding on linked in, send kator a message explaining your background and that you are AncoraImparo from HN? I don't know about kator, but I typically have 5-6 people who I have requested to be added at any one time, so without an additional message it might be hard to remember you.

yes please don't randomly link me with 'I'd like to add you to my network.' If I don't recognize you it'll never happen.

I prefer a message, if we get to know each other and find value in our connection I will link you later. :)

I get recruiters who will blind link me and I always respond back without linking them until I know who they are and if I want them in "my" network.

I try harder in Linked In to keep a good network not like facebook where random people I barely know are friends with me.. :-)

Unfortunately LinkedIn makes it hard to send you a message that isn't attached to a connection request. They have InMail, but it's a premium feature.

OK then add something to the link request.. Just make it clear you're not spamming and who you are.. :)
