Comment on LinkedIn job search sucks. Also, 30 minutes a MONTH?!

The shitty ones I see the most don’t have the real company name but the name of a recruiting company. There might not even be a real position behind the post, and they’re just farming candidates.

Yeah, it’s awful. I was basically only doing it originally not to burn any bridges, but I actually got a couple of interviews scheduled by applying through it so it’s not 100% useless, especially for the ads you have to click through to go to an actual company’s careers page to apply for.

Assuming you’re in the job market–best wishes. I am also looking and it’s a bit of a mess, even more so than the classic thanks for the resume now retype everything please online forms.

Thank you. Best wishes to you as well. And yeah, I have started to just skip over those “fill everything out again” forms because after a while it’s like, “how desperate am I?” I’m getting interviews without those anyway. I’m 47 years old and I’ve been a professional in my field for over 20 years. If you need me to fill out a form for the sort of job I’m applying for as if it was for a cashier at Burger King, maybe this is not the right job for me.
