I have a hard time believing employers use this site to recruit? I have a fake account I put up years ago. I get requests--daily--from people I don't know?

I think it would be a better site if it didn't focus on this networking "friends" thing? Let people pad their resume! Let them lie about their abilities? It seems like it turned into another Facebook? "

I get this daily:

"Hi ,

I'd like to add you to my professional network on LinkedIn."

From strangers? I don't know why these people want me on their professional network. As a job I listed: I manage __________ID. I am in control of it--most of the time. It's a strenuous position, but I can't get anyone to take over the job!
