Yes

Job hunting is a shitshow. LinkedIn is just a piece of the puzzle.

>>11037994
a scam? no a meme
linkedin is for faggots who have nothing to offer

>>11038045
Uh literally every successful person has a linkedin profile.

>>11038098
right, because that changes anything

>>11037994
Make dude way uglier, then yes. Attractive people don't need to use LinkedIn, they just get money by existing.

>>11038125
Literal faggot spotted

>>11038098
>Successful person
>Needs to job hunt
>Needs to "network" with others through social media

No Anon, truly successful people don't job hunt, they don't network through the internet.

I have no job experience, any job that requires linkedin is an automatic pass for me, can't bare the embaressment

>>11038145
>having an online presence cannot support your in real life networking
This is how I know you're a NEET

>>11038125
only if you're female

I'm on there and I have received a couple of job opportunity calls out of the blue but I'm not looking to change jobs so...

>>11037994
I got my current job off the back of a recruiter contacting me out of the blue on LinkedIn.
I do virtually nothing with it. Just a brief summary of my career and skills. I don't have any pictures, never comment on anything, rarely log in except to clear up connection requests and messages.

>>11037994
Just spend a half hour putting together a decent looking LinkedIn profile, add all of they people they suggest to you based on your contacts and leave it at that. If you have your inmail sent to your regular email account then you basically never need to open your account again.
>But is it a scam?
It's a free service that takes up none of your time. Unless you're one of those autists who obsesses over MUH PERSONAL INFO there's no downside to having one.

>>11037994
this is exactly what quant is

>qnt

fake props fake everything

google the news : linkedin

they are losing credibility

too many fake accounts

the Russians found a way to manipulate

>the russians

short linkedin

now !

>>11038430
>yes goy nothing wrong with companies harvesting your personal info just carry on as usual no downside goy heheheheh *rubs claws together*

>>11038503
>nothing wrong with companies harvesting your personal info
Yeah pretty much. There's nothing on my LinkedIn profile (which is public anyway) that I wouldn't be comfortable broadcasting to the entire world.

>tfw too shy to post a profile picture
>feel like this is hindering my opportunities since people dont know what I look like

What do? Its my character that matters, right?

>>11037994
LinkedIn is fucking garbage. But good luck without it

>>11038658
No photo makes you look like a pussy / NPC

LinkedIn is such a fucking shit show. I know plenty who plaster their profile with long winding stories about all their fantastic accomplishments at previous jobs like they're some kind of Steve Jobs. It looks impressive and all. Then you meet the person and it turns out they can't even lead a simple meeting or stick to deadlines.

>>11037994

I have never gotten gotten hired through linked in. It's another bullshit social media platform.

LinkedIn is bullshit. So what? How do I make money knowing this? How do I become filthy rich when I'm actually an unemployed nothing like the guy on the left?

>>11039059
Jesus fuck that bunda. I've seen butts like this at the grocery store and it takes all my willpower not to creep on these women.

>>11038145
>they don't network through the internet.
We actually do.
It is just that we met the people in person beforehand and can estimate quite quick, who is a gasbag or someone worth knowing.

Also, "blockchain" or "influencer" etc. are a instant "no" on all questions.

If I'm a young law school grad fresh out of school, is it really that bad to have "interested in blockchain/cryptocurrency" in my resume/LinkedIN/etc.?

I really want to work in the field.

>>11037994

Just goes to show how fucking detached from reality this job market is, it's all just marketing bullshit now. Everyone bullshits and flat out lies so if you're honest you'll look like a useless piece of shit.

>>11039085
Just creep on them brah. I usually follow them around the store for a while to get a better look.

>>11038125
I'm very handsome and I can confirm true

It’s for absolute wage keks. A great place to visit if you want to laugh at your debt slave former classmates

>>11038658
This is my profile pic and it gets me laid ALL THE FUCKING TIME

>>11038145
Underrated. The sad truth is that Linkedin is a place for unsuccessful normies to LARP as successful normies in the hopes that someone will believe the LARP and hire them, so that they can (in theory) leave behind their unsuccessful existence and join the successful normies

I put that I handle my companies $10 million/year advertising budget on LinkedIn and I constantly get job offers.

Like fuck off.

>>11039170
>job searching is marketing
Yeah no shit. Look at it from a company's perspective. You are literally trying to sell yourself as a product. With so many other "products" that the company can choose from, you need to stand out somehow, hence marketing. Out-market the competition

>>11038098

Nah, I have a cousin who's 30 and is pretty successful (makes 20k a month, gets to travel a lot, all expenses paid) and they don't have LinkedIn, they don't have instagram or any other faggy shit.

>>11039316
wee he's no at a wagecuck.
a succesful wagecuck usually needs a good linkedin profile.

I honestly don't even have a resume anymore.
I just say look at my linkedin. they do and accept.

I get a shit ton of job offers on linkedIN every week. its a good idea to have one.


if there's anything I gained from college it's a strong linkedin profile. and it gets me exactly the jobs I want offered right in my lap.

>>11039198
I know, I need to go full creep. I'm way too shy about things like this even though I'm decent looking.

>>11039397
npc mentality.
a man works for himself and his family, not for the jews

>>11039747
>>11038503
>>11038213

lmao, look at this fucking incel's posts. This is some pathetic tier posting

>>11038202
>>11039120
>>11039397
jesus christ that mid-level wagie cope
if you had a good job you wouldn't be so eager to jump ship
if you felt confident you wouldn't be so desperate for validation from strangers
accepting your current life, right now, is a mess is the first necessary step to fix it. refusing to see things for what they are makes YOU a mess, and soon enough you'll find yourself a lonely, balding man in his 40s with a beer belly and daily suicidal thoughts

Projecting in 4k

>>11037994

Oh my fucking god, where the fuck that " X | Y | Z | OMG | WTF | BBQ" shit came from?
Most of my contacts are using that crap on LinkedIn, along with posting the most inane obvious bullshit that in turn has other people replying with yet more bullshit.
I seriously see people with " AI | Blockchain | IoT| Making the Future | Fuck my mouth", what is this bullshit?!
This shit make me want to be an hermit in the woods.

>>11038658

You need a picture man. Just try to get a decent front facing one.

>>11040853
>what is this bullshit?!
>This shit make me want to be an hermit in the woods.

It's just a trend anon, you don't have to follow it

>>11038695

EXACTLY! It's all just so fucking obnoxious and inane. I noticed these kind of "blog posts" on LinkedIn starting to pop up say at the end of 2016. Before that, LinkedIn was tolerable.

funny op

>>11039166

I guess it's okay to write that, as long you don't paint yourself as some sort of "influencer" or something. But be warned, blockchain/crypto has a bit of bad mojo right now considering the absolute overhypeness it had and most people (including me) will assume you're just a trendy cunt if you haven't been involved in the space before the insane 2017 bull run.
Just state your interest well if its a real honest one.

>>11039247

Yup, LinkedIn is just cancerous LARPing now. But the same can be said for all social media though.

>>11038145
My friend got some really good offers in LinkedIn.

He is the type that writes that kind of gibberish in OP's pic related in his bio.

It does work, specially for IT.

>>11041080
dunno i only set a few keywords about my actual experience absolutely no hyperbole and i'm fucking flooded with offers. i can't even look at linked in without getting sick of the spam.

>>11041104
Only spam offers with no followup after responding?

>>11037994
It is! It's YOUR scam!

>>11041133
i don't respond like ever like i said i'm sick of it.
it's always the same shit submit application cv and whatnot go to interviews invest 6-7 hours of my time into something before i could even learn what the fuck would i have to work with. meh...

>>11038098
linkedin profile is created after success (boring corporate career that plays slighly above average) so that other people can see your success googling you. that's about it. good place for a narcisstic npc :D

>>11037994
A linkedIn is the economic equivalent of a "physical-fitness guru" on instagram, nothing to really offer, rehashed uninspiring quotes, and the appearance of success.

>>11037994

How are some people so good at describing themselves with verbal diarrhea? I have autism and have trouble describing objective quantifiers with buzzwords. I just keep it plain and boring.

>>11041174
Came to say that. Since we think alike, can we be friends?

>>11039316
fuck does he do?

>>11043309

>>11037994
Just checking, who here hates the LinkedIn?
I hate it. Don't use it. Don't need it.

>>11038008

>>11037994
I spent a long time building my profile and making connections on LinkedIn. I used it for employment opportunities and four years later have gotten precisely dick out of it.

My current job which I've been with for a few years I got because I spoke to someone in person.

Talk to people in person.
