Good Luck finding a JOB. Linkedin is selling us out

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

Which exactly was my point

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

IDK breh. I work in IT, but typically the HR people will just pass a resume on, but they still have to go to the hiring manager, and sometimes even the director before the decision is made. An HR person can't just say hey, hire THIS person for the job. They'd still have to interview well and be qualified for the job.

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.

That's a whole other discussion that I'm not even trying to get into

By the other side I thought you meant from the perspective of an executive.

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.

if even if you pay for Google'd Adword service, it doesn guarantee you placement at the top of any search engine result. Your ad still has to be relevant in both context and content.

I get recruited by someone on there almost monthly

Besides, it's nothing more than an adult Facebook. I use it for free marketing more than anything.

I agree, but I would imagine the same is with LinkedIn. I doubt searching for Director of Marketing w/ 10 years of exp and a Masters will return results for a janitor with 2 years of exp and a GED.

But he paid the $29.

Unless he has them certs, it doesn't even matter.

Not fukkin w/ LinkedIn in any way shape or form.

Also, it's another thing imo to weed out applicants by the way they look (dont make me get into how this can be bad)

I mean I look at it as just a professional billboard about yourself, as others have said. I'm not looking to get a job from there, but if the opportunity presents itself, than cool. I had a recruiter hit me up on there, but it was for a job in Boston, and I was like nah.
