I don’t think LinkedIn understands what they are anymore
Seeing how some users already interpret is as a dating app … they’re not the only ones
LinkedIn reminds me of that scene in Men in Black where they discover a weird little society living inside a locker. But instead of a locker, it’s a job board.
With a large adult section in the back!
How large are we talking? 6’ and larger or some gargantuan 7 footers?
Top 10 on the leaderboard get boosted in job searches.
But in all seriousness, this is why searching continuous growth ruins products. LinkedIn had a decent thing going as a job board a few years ago. Instead of focusing on that experience (which is still surprisingly underdeveloped) it added all this useless shit and became a Facebook with a paper thin mask of professionalism. It is now a place used mostly to spread toxic corporate culture and I dread its logo any time I open it to search for a job.
I have been looking for a job for 4 months now and have never used LinkedIn to search. I had very good experiences with Google for Jobs, where I could set up alerts for certain search terms and the radius in which I was searching, whereby you can also exclude cities if necessary. This meant I didn’t have to use another job board, I only used it for forwarding. Since the last rework, Google for Jobs almost always finds the company websites with the job advertisments directly, so I no longer have to look at job boards at all, a very pleasant experience. I used LinkedIn once to test it and all that came up was generic crap, it’s unbelievable how a site that’s supposed to be about professional life can be so sub-par at finding jobs. And just to conclude this post, I successfully found a job with this method.
I never knew Google for Jobs existed. I will try it out, hopefully I can get something out of it before Google kills it.
Lol… I almost instinctively didn’t even bother looking for it because OP used past tense, so I assumed Google already eliminated it like many useful things they invent.
Have you got any games on your LinkedIn?
Tell me your business has sold out to the Royal class without actually telling me
meanwhile, copilot:
Naw, Copilot is loving the free technical data in the form of “AI and user created articles”.
Is there a fediverse LinkedIn out there?
Employers, as a general body, fundamentally disagree with what the fediverse stands for
i cant imagine anything i’d like to do less than play video games with people specifically on linkedin
