Yes, I got quite a big contract out of it when an old customer from my previous job noticed that I had set up on my own. Essentially they liked my work but hated dealing with my employer, hence they had taken their business elsewhere over a year previous.<p>Other than keeping my profile up to date I&#x27;m a very passive LinkedIn user though - I don&#x27;t use it to look people up. It&#x27;s also a source of a huge amount of worthless recruiter spam.
