I used to browse linkedin all the time, and found that my contacts shared interesting articles and links that related to my job. I got 2 jobs from listing shared by my network that I’d never have found otherwise.
But it’s been years since that time, and now it is a cesspool of shameless fake humble bragging and totally non-work appropriate content. I’ve been hit on multiple times with men trying to get me to chat with them about really personal stuff in DMs.
I’m job hunting now, and it’s one of my main methods for finding opportunities but otherwise I wouldn’t log on at all.
I don’t use it, but I know companies checkout my profile whenever I apply so I made my profile look really good, added a ton of skills and completed a bunch of the certification test things.
Up until recently when jobs in my industry dried up, I would get recruiters contacting me weekly at a minimum. I’ve never actually used it as a social media platform, and I don’t understand why people do tbh.
