The searches were for unemployed losers.
fubar00
just landed a new gig after seven months. recruiter there has a software dev job open and has over 900 applicants to go through. it's insane.
boobsalot
And there's only about 270 companies that need your skills .
SnarfyMcSnarferson
You guys are getting views?
AlienDragonWizard
I've never gotten a job from there but it serves as a place to keep work contacts from previous jobs. Marginally useful but it's also free.

Hey hey, I just got LinkedIn premium and... Yeah. It's been a long year
slendfung
Premium, unfortunately just isn’t helpful.

If you are really wanted and needed, you can just write boolshit into the categories and mock the recruiters..
PicassoCT
As in, the more unserious you take linked in, the better a programmer you must be. Post much on a social network, obviously you are not coding much..
PicassoCT
Thus.. the best coders- are not on that platform..

LinkedIn is fucking stupid. At work, you put on a fake persona...
Online, you again put on a fake persona.
So LinkedIn is [bullshit * bullshit = bullshit²]

You appeared in searches but you have to pay LinkedIn to see who it was that searched you
TheRedPriest
Its useless. Worse than that, its a data-collecting farce. Nuke that shit.

I did the free trial of pro so I can see who are these people looking me up and apparently there is an extra privacy mode where you still can’t see them. So damn redundant.

LinkedIn is for background checks, mostly. Headhunters may use it to find potential new employees, but they only go for those with the thickest resume or connection groups and will ignore everyone else.
KerryCoder
Wait. where the hell do you find job listings in software engineering?
I mean, I've been using Seek.co.nz but that's because I *specifically* want to move to New Zealand.
TheFoodBaby
You can do location based searches and what field you're in to narrow down the job listings.

The internet has radicalized me, I admit. Nothing has made me a more avowed enemy of capitalism than the contents of my LinkedIn feed.
naturally I can't opt *out* of the xhitter-clone aspects of LinkedIn to just search for jobs and have a resume profile.
MidasTheAlchemist
Hmm, it's less than useless M'boy!
criggie
After four months I never even got an interview. In the end networking through family got me a job in my field.

I would put a considerable amount of effort into applying to this job just to screw them over.

I almost downvoted you out of reflex. But that wouldn't be fair to downvote the messenger
SpanWolf
You can downvote me as long as you are willing to not get paid for your work and pay me weekly for the privilege.

My resume:

I'd say "isn't that illegal" but it doesn't really matter now does it. What you gonna do about it.
rbudrick
Probably fire.
GutsTheStruggler
Please tell me this isn't real
SpanWolf
Okay, but I'm not sure if it would be true...
KingORedLions
It's likely real. A lot of "internships" are now pay-for-play too. Fuck capitalism.
GutsTheStruggler
Fuck those people

Linked In is not for job searching. It's just for people who do little to nothing to brag to their bosses about how much they do.
Merdock
I have a LinkedIn account so when I apply for a job I can point to my LinkedIn account and say, "see, I'm professional, give me money"
fractalsphere
LinkedIn is for CONNECTIONS - professional people you met or know or worked with and can get you that inside track for a new job.
eetsumkaus
yeah, every job I've ever held has been through a LinkedIn posting.
StabbyMcMurder
I literally lost my job on Tuesday.... I'm thinking I'm going to pursue my CDL. Then I can drive big trucks AND have accounting experience. Cause you know, why not?
AndroidSoul

TeaOverdose
I lost my job six months ago. I'm considering starting to draw furry porn.
nowinvisibly
I lost my job earlier this month. Instead of going into another tech support job, I’m getting my project management certification. Those jobs are everywhere in every industry. Good luck with your CDL!

vincentleeprice
I just found out my last day is June 2nd
StabbyMcMurder
I had literally 0 notice. My boss had approximately 12 hours notice, and even then she didn't think it'd be THAT DAY. I'm sure she feels terrible since I was only fired because corporate wanted to demote her so that they could give a nepotism hire a leg up. Corporate in an at will state and all.
smashpro1
That's what my dad did, although his degree was in electrical engineering.

Just be aware that driverless trucks are already on the road in Texas.
Zaranthan
Bad timing to get into hauling. Stuff's piling up at the docks because nobody's buying our stuff. By the time you get your license, it's gonna be Find Out time.
StabbyMcMurder
It should be free though the state since I'm on unemployment. I look real good on paper, 6 years as an accountant. I have to sit around just looking for jobs anyway, may as well learn a skill while I'm at it!
kayakninjas
Become an owner/operator, use your accounting skills to maximize deductions on your 1099s, rule the world!
StabbyMcMurder
Exactly. My kids are old enough to take care of themselves too (15 and 21 by June) so I can just take off if need be. It feels like the perfect timing to learn a new skill that can be used with my other skills to gain real independence.
trinxter
Amazing how this annoying farce of a site has persuaded so many to sign up, and feel good about looking so professional.
SploogeMcDuck316
Its a social media site in disguise
RaftingRyan
Disguise?
imtiredboss
It's a job board with a social media component. I know people who don't use it think it's Facebook for Work, but it's a job board primarily. And a really bad one at that since it ignores all your search terms and filters anyway.
0xDEC0DE
So, it's just like every other job board, then?
youreathing
It is and always be JUST a Rolodex. A way to see who's working where. Any other use for that site is non-existent.
eetsumkaus
eh, every job I've held has been through LinkedIn ads though. Also good to keep up with everyone's professional history to know who's where in case I need a connection.
youreathing
That second part is its primary use case, by far.
MerriMod
It's just an easy, standardized way to check peoples' listed employment history, maybe get an idea of their personality, and do a bit of job hunting. The people who use it as a social media platform - and the content generally posted as such - are an absolute trip.
LesbiLexi
For the flaws, it's pretty good as a job hunting tool as well. If you can get over the whole "employers dont actually look at your linkedin application and just ask you to apply on their website anyway" part. The way I see it is I'd be applying on their websites anyway, LinkedIn just shows me positions that are open and in my salary range. Way less frustrating than job hunting without it at all.
MayhemLikeMee
Nah my dad found a way to use it to hook up with women on business trips and cheat on my mom of 25 yrs. Other uses exist.
EmailFail
I've gotten three of four jobs off LinkedIn over the past six-ish years? I've always seen it as apolitical Facebook to celebrate folks' new jobs.
Akintunde
The moment I have a job I set my account to dormant. Recruiters get so pissy when you don't respond to them, even when you check all the options to indicate you aren't interested in looking for jobs and removing yourself from the search pool.
Yeah I'm not interested in a 60k reduction in pay to work on a framework that isn't on my resumè in a language that isn't on it either. Over 13 years experience and I still get entry level shit sometimes.
EarthDragon2189
It's funny when a recruiter contacts me about an "opportunity" (despite my profile settings theoretically preventing that), I tell them I'll hear them out if the job can be done remotely and if they can give me a salary range...then they ghost me.
SJBSavageInk
Is it considering who owns it? Just another grifter grifting.
TheFoodBaby
It is actually a great way to connect with others and get a job if you're in the right field. I'm an engineer and my wife is in accounting and we're both getting job offers quite frequently from headhunters. My wife had 3 interviews last year alone to see if they could offer better benefits and salary.
MorsCertaHoraIncerta
It's pretty terrible if you are in the biology field, however
TrippyTurtle69
Yeah. I've gotten a 28% raise and my wife got a 32% raise. All by being headhunted from LinkedIn. I still regularly get job offers.
ShadeWilson2
Corporate "culture" and "professionalism" is LARPing for business majors. Change my mind.
Equinox13
It sounds like you just haven't tried putting an idea on the backburner and reevaluating the metrics on deliverables so you can circle back when you've got more bandwidth to align with operational expectations and optimize the core competencies that you can bring to the table to leverage in terms of actionables. It's not really in my wheelhouse, but a deep dive into synergy might be a game changer in the pipeline.
PainGwen
we can pull together a tiger team to identify some low hanging fruit and get on the same page in terms of our shared goals, meeting in the middle during an agile sprint where we iterate through the process until we reach a shared understanding and are speaking the same language, though. Really dig deep, ask the hard questions.
ShadeWilson2
Roll for initiative.

Back when Pluto was a planet, we had a wave of "aspiring rappers". Yes, this was a polite way to say "a kid who wants to be a musician but has no IDEA how much work it is to make a living as an artist". I just figured these were the new kids.

Not nearly enough emoji line breaks. Plus, the body of the post needs to be at least eight or nine lines down so people have to click for "...more".

Strawberry Mango Forklift sounds like a drink that requires you to sign a liability release before the bartender puts on PPE and starts mixing it.
