Good Luck finding a JOB. Linkedin is selling us out

[↓R↑LYB]

All the halfway decent jobs are obtained through nepotism anyway

Paying LinkedIN to make your profile more visible? $29/Mo

Bosses and CEO's giving job vacancies to their unqualified nieces or nephews? priceless

I can almost guarantee most y'all nikkas in here salty spend more time on the coli than you do focusing on your careers.

Of course CEO's look out for their family, why the hell wouldn't they. But the reality is unless you've exhausted every option in your chosen career path to make yourself the best and brightest talent, then you only have yourself to blame

We tell him this shyt all the time in the Anrdoid thread

FYI my last two jobs have been through LinkedIn

Dude always stubbling on some new information and trying to wow people on here like oh man look what I found

this is that same. nikka. He got ran out his own thread multiple times for his fukk nikka behavior.

if you're PAYING to find a job, you lost already. I have NEVER gotten a job by paying.

as for linkedin, I have gotten job interviews off there without paying.

I can't cosign. Every week I gotta reply to someone saying I'm not interested in exploring that opportunity at this time.

Get ya resume and experience weight up brehs

CareerBuilder and Monster been doing this in a different form for years. Its not really illegal, so they are going to do it.

Salty? Not in the slightest.

I was just illustrating the fact that not all jobs opportunities are offered through fairness.

Me? Salty?

Not at all, I've just seen the other side and I've noticed nothing is really fair.

I have gotten jobs off monster and careerbuilder. careerbuilder worked well for me quite a few times. lots of call backs and interviews off there more so than any other site I have tried.

Breh, you're talking about CEO's offering their family jobs in the country like THAT'S the main reason people can't find good jobs. You know how small of a percentage that is?

There was quite a bit of sodium in your post breh

And what' this other side you speak of ?

 

[the cac mamba]

anyone else not mad at this at all?

if the employer doesnt like the profile, cant they just say 'next' and skip it?

Recruiters and referrals are big on LinkedIn. A lot of companies are using the site for referral purposes now. And tons of recruiters are actively using the site.

It's far form useless though, because you have to remember that a recruiters job is to find people for positions that they have open. My advice would be finding out who are the recruiters for the jobs/companies you're looking into and shooting them a message. If your credentials are good enough, you'll be doing them a favor, because you're making their job easier by showing specific interest in a position/role that they may be trying to fill.

They do, its called AdWords. How do you think Google makes its billions

But Adwords like content more tho

True, but getting an AdWord will make it a lot easier to get to the top of the SERP. It still is buying your way to the top.

CEO's was just one weak example I used illustrate the point of nepotism.

A more broad and accurate example would be HR or Mid level managers offering their frat brothers or college buddies jobs in other departments.

The other side? Seeing this stuff happen with my own two eyes. It's just discouraging because blacks are rarely in the position to give other blacks opportunities just because. Those that are often don't for some reason.

I never alluded to nepotism be the sole reason for people not finding jobs.
