ive seen most of those features at other sites which require far less info (indeed,simplyhired), idk to each there own i guess , personally still don't see it as a must have, maybe once i get further along in my career
Linkedin doesn't require anything but an email address, everything else is basically putting your resume online. The email is important so that you can tap into your alma matter's groups. I know like 30 job openings right now on linkedin from Michigan groups and they're not yet posted on the company websites and they're not on indeed. But again, it also depends on what sort of job you want.

Used to do security, in social services now just started working a state job, yeah I won't dismiss it completely probably a good way to move up in a organization
I live and breath off my linkedin. I feel you of wanting to not use the coli because of this. I canceled all my social media ( I never really used them anyway) I stay low key, stay out of trouble... and go beast most thousands of connects, etc on linkedin - It can help w any networking... especially in sales, or IT, or healthcare.
Doesn't really apply to IT... so that's why I encourage black to enter the field- Also y my end goal is tech centers for black youth. But ur a white guy, and Italian (I'm assuming.) from what I know Italians love other Italians so u should be good.
I have never used linkedin. Don't plan to. There are various online job websites where employers list job openings.
Facebook, I keep mine semi-anonymous. Closed to just friends. I reject friend invites to friend of a friend or someone I hardly knew anyway. No pictures. Rarely comment. I may say the occasional happy birthday to someone I friended, get well soon, or LOL or "like" a post by a friend. It's kind of introverted but I keep my profile on the down-low.
Think about this, Derek Jeter is an all-star, high profile mofo with tons of cash and has had super-hot girlfriends... but he's very incognito, as in the paparazzi don't have any sneaky photos of him. TMZ has nothing on him. You need to be like Jeter. Stay out of trouble, don't look for trouble, and don't walk into a situation that would look bad if the media caught you. He probably doesn't bother with hooking up with a one-nighter or side-piece, which is a good thing. He can't be exposed, blackmailed, or has anything that can be used by an angry girlfriend or jump-off against him. No DNA/paternity suits. Clean and worry free.

LinkedIn is good. If you're making moves and you don't need it then that's just because your moves are small.... or your industry isn't about networking online and across continents.
