Comment on Why do people post so much crap on linkedin?

I just ignore the posts, its mostly bullshit corporate propaganda and public asslicking.

LinkedIn is great to find a new job if you build your profile correctly. Work experience, skills, etc Usually recruiters can find you based on that. I receive at least 1-2 offers monthly based on this alone.

Also the job section is great, you can set alarms for certain types of positions with tons of criterias, like location, type of work, specific skill required, etc

The rest is just pure trash and cringe.

Ironically, I never found a job through LinkedIn but traditional job boards work great for me (software development sector). I even set up my profile to be 1:1 to my resume, but it seems I never had any luck whatsoever

The only thing LinkedIn gives me is spam from trashy recruiters. The ones trying to fill a quota and do not actually read your profile. They are given a job requirement “Java” and fire a bunch of bullshit messages at anyone who tagged the skill.

The first line of my “About Me” is a test, and 100% of recruiters who message me have failed to even read that very first line. And when I call them out on it, they always want to “schedule a call” to “sync up about future opportunities”. I’d rather they all get replaced by AI that will actually know how to read what’s on the damn website.

  Reading the comments here it looks like more people had this experience. I also had a few unrelated job offers but most of them are within my field.
