Résumé vs Network: what do they say about you?

It might be the time of year, or it might be that there are some interesting job appearing in the sector, but whatever the reason, my inbox is full of Linkedin requests, and no small amount of requests for the writing of linkedIn recommendations.

Open practice? Reflections from the towpath.
