That sound weird to you? Because it does to me.
I closed my LinkedIn account today. I've had it for a few years, and had some connections and recommendations and all of that. And I know the conventional wisdom says that one must market oneself within an inch of one's life at all times.
But really: no.
I don't need to have my resume, and all of my recommendations, out there for everyone to find all of the time. If I want to apply for a job, I will apply for a job. If someone wants to offer me a job out of the blue and I'm the right candidate, they'll find me.
If I am not self-promoting every minute, I won't disappear. I will do just fine, even if I don't have my entire professional history and every notable accomplishment ever out there for constant evaluation.
