That’s a really good point actually. LinkedIn is a great way to find people who have moved on from a job — assuming they keep their profile up-to-date. I originally set up a LinkedIn account with an address I never checked, and a few people asked me why I was ignoring their invites — but I had just never seen them. That’s why I now always use a work address, that way I know I’ll check it (and LinkedIn’s very good about not spamming you with a bunch of ‘alerts’).
