It only took me about a month and a half to find a new job and the carreer transition guy was so useless so I am guessing he was way off.
Did the guy say why you should not put much detail in there?

I use to not be a big fan of linkedin, but now I find it nice to have an expanded professional network. Getting sniffed out regularly by headhunters is always a nice reminder that there are options out there.
