It is actually useful.

i don't have a linked in and i don't live in a soul-crushing city so i dont need it. in a small town your reputation and connections are all the matters. All these people applying for jobs put their linked in profile front and center of their resume and i just ignore it.

I will not create a LinkedIn account just so recruiters, people in my life, and strangers stalk me. The less people know about me, the better.

>> No.53828639

What if instead of job recruiter be focused on appealing to nasty roasties who peaked in college 25 years ago, we focused recruiting on trying to get employees who feel the company has a future by not treating them like a date or disposable garbage? No?

shit on
kind of related i like when i get invited by some random 500+ connections and i do some research to find out if they are real or not if they seem suspicious to me, then i directly contact a linkedin employee with my research that the account is fake and it gets erased
all that had work building up that fake profile, gone. be careful who you add.

Yeah, start early, and do average content. Nobody is doing content on LinkedIn, so the Algo will push you in front of everyone. Soon people will see you as an expert, and job offers will come by default. If you want to be wagie, LinkedIn is good.

The job board there is largely useless, and it's a terrible social media site. If you have a good resume you'll get recruiter DMs. That's about all it is useful for

Yeah sort of. It's kind of like social proof that you have skills or some shit, like Facebook is supposed to prove you have friends. Idk. I find the social media aspect of it absolutely cancerous but it has a good job board.

It is.
But I absolutely HATE that I cannot target the particular country.
Like, I want to move to Canada, I don't want the local recruiters to bother me. I even paid for the Premium, but this feature doesn't exist there either.
