I fucking hate LinkedIn so much it's unreal. When it comes to that platform, I lose all rationality altogether. Perhaps I need to go to therapy, but not before LinkedIn influencers are all assembled in the town square and publicly executed for their crimes upon humanity.
This.
Over the years, I’ve applied to over a thousand jobs through LinkedIn, ‘earned’ dozens of skill badges; but all I’ve had to show for it was a compromised social security number. LinkedIn has proliferated the scammer.
Meanwhile, Indeed has connected me with real employers who’ve actually interviewed me. Most who started interviewing me had conducted multiple rounds, enough to get to the mature conclusion that it’s not a good fit. I’ve interviewed my way into two great fitting roles over the years via that platform.
