I created an informal poll on LinkedIn which was geared towards finding out what's in a candidates' mind with respect to changing jobs in today's economy- would love it if you could spread the word. Need to have a LinkedIn account but should not be a problem, right?

Hi Suzy,

I'd like to see some other choices in the poll, like:

"More interesting, challenging work"
"A better chance for professional growth"
"Doing things that I love"

What do you think?

Hi Irina,
On LinkedIn polls, you are limited to 5 questions with 74 characters or less, so I was trying to get to the *meat* of the topics. Your questions are great- that would have to be another poll. Care to start one?

Suzy,

I see! Well, I'm not up for changing jobs right now anyway :)

I just did my "poll", the Boolean Contest

(and thanks for your nice comment).
I used Surveymonkey.com and it can certainly be also used for a poll.
It's a really convenient, easy to use and inexpensive site, I think.

I suppose if you post right on LinkedIn though members are more likely to answer.

I loved your Boolean contest BTW and also commented on the site.
Yes, SurveyMonkey is useful- I just liked that the poll app was within Linkedin therefore I could reach, well millions upon millions! Still testing it out but, so far I also like the reporting features. As a matter of fact, here are the results to the first part of the poll (I added an addendum today, same questions just reminding people to vote and also adding to FB page- the first poll was broadcast via Twitter, and I posted it as an update on my LI Profile- 12 new responses in an hour or so!)

Results from 1st poll Dec 19-Dec21:
