You have to be very careful with Darko Popovski. He's a crook and a liar, he's stealing and blackmailing people.

We were the victim of his blackmail and we refused to pay! And now he tries to discredit us, we have to be very careful with this crook of Darko Popovski.

He lives in Macedonia and he "works" with a team of four to defraud people and companies. Report this scammer DARKO POPOVSKI!

I created my linkedin account in 2016 if I remember correctly and because I wasn't really sure what is it about, I used a dummy name to register. In 2017 or so that I decided to start using linkedin, I changed name to my real name, added a bio, picture, my works and everything. Three years later, they suspend my account and after appealing with my real passport, they say that this is not the account owner name, which is ridiculous. I explained to them many times that I used a dummy name to create the account (something like John Whisp), which isn't even a greek name. Also, they wasted all my time and connections, because of their bad system. Why they allowed me to change my name if they gonna nag to me after years? If I couldn't change name back then, I would simply make a new account with my real name. Very bad customer support, ignoring all the context.

Not user friendly
April 16, 2011

- Not user friendly
- You have to pay for simple privileges
- Haven't helped me a bit in terms of finding a job (listen, that's not because I am a crappy worker :) )

Overall: an option but not in my top10 list.

What the $#*!
December 1, 2023

What the $#*!. I tried to get into my LinkedIn Account but it's inaccessible. They deleted it because they saw some "suspicious" activity. Bunch of blockheads and $#*!s.

I keep my LinkedIn profile up-to-date and have tried to utilize it as often as possible for searching for jobs, but their supply of non-profit openings is very limed, hence the mediocre rating.

Almost no reason to visit any more. Linkedin wont authorize many of my apps. People I don't know very well are constantly voting up my skills. Seems like an afterthought going the way of myspace.

I definitely recommend using it even if you`re almost out of experience at the moment. The network really helps to get in touch with some people that can boost your knowledges drastically.

Their marketing announcements are annoying but it's otherwise very valuable for any business person looking to maintain old contacts or finding new business.

I've had an account with LinkedIn for years including a recruiter-lite paid account. Until recently, I found their site to be a useful tool allowing me to connect with other professionals. My account recently got locked for some, unknown reason. Their reset process requires you to upload a picture ID of yourself to prove it is you. I have done this now multiple times. Each time, the response is someone will get back to me. It has been several weeks now and nothing. No reply other than an auto-response stating they got the upload. Why are they the worst online company? Simple, they offer no way to contact anyone there if you have a problem. No support email, no phone number and what is most laughable of all, the support they do offer requires you to be logged in to access! Are you kidding me? Did no one at LinkedIn ever consider the support issue being "Can Not Log In"? Until they are willing to offer support that can be directly contacted, they will remain the worst online company of our times. Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Twitter, Indeed ALL provide multiple ways to contact them if you have issues logging in. Something so simple yet beyond LinkedIn's comprehension. I am the CEO of the company I work for and usually try to stay positive, even when dealing with a negative situation however this experience is the number one customer service failure I work hard with my people to avoid our customers from every having.

I've recently started using LinkedIn, as I will soon be graduating into a "real" profession! I really enjoy the professional development courses that LinkedIn offers with their premium subscription. I'm very, very busy with graduation preparations and final assignments and forgot to cancel my free trial. As a full-time student with no real income, I can't afford the price tag right now. So, naturally, I panicked when my credit card was charged the full subscription price. The charge date had snuck up on me. I immediately canceled my subscription (not that it did any good now, ha), and messaged the customer support team on Twitter. I explained my situation and left my email address that's connected to my LinkedIn account. The next morning, I got a notification (this was maybe 12 hours later) that my charge had been refunded, no questions asked. One less stress for me to deal with! A heartfelt thank-you to "KW" for helping me out so quickly and efficiently. Your hard work has not gone unappreciated.

It's a shame to see LinkedIn with racism and profiling in 2019!
My wife decided to setup her LinkedIn profile for the first time two days ago... she included her full name, business details, education, certificates and all the necessary details including country. However the next day she was also asked to send a photo ID (this is unheard of) but despite that, she also complied and sent as requested. That same day she was told that her account was banned citing "security concerns" and the need to "protect their community"!

She has complied with everything, she's not from the Middle East or any war-stricken country or has any relation to such. She sent them multiple emails asking for help as to why the account was banned and all they said is they can't give the findings of their security team.

A full read of their Terms and Conditions showed no violation or anything that could have been against their rules with a 2 day old account. It's a real shame some companies still go to such levels to discriminate against certain minorities. I'll make it my mission to keep posting this level of discrimination experienced by your company and hopefully, it'll be reached by a news agency!

Could be better

Not so good as could be. Almost every single platform allows me to see what is going on there, except LinkedIn. Signing in is obligatory and that irritates me.

This site is an ideal business networking platform for anyone wanting to start, advance or enhance their business.

It has an appealing clean look, easy to navigate and a 'beautiful addictive nature', allowing employed and unemployed persons to connect with others within their industry.
I recommend reaching 500 connections. By achieving this number of connections other people will begin sending you invitations to connect. The stronger your numbers the more opportunities you receive. Post, commenting on posts and writing articles allow for potential future employers to see your worth and abilities. I have increased my network in 3 different fields allowing me to have more 'open door' possibilities.

When initiating an account here make sure you pay attention to the settings. Your cellphone and email need to be set to default and for anti-hacking purposes use the true verification option. This is still a social media platform.

This site requires constant attention from your part in terms of updating your status, posting and commenting. But the outcome is a possible job.

I believe this is a great place to build your resume and find your dream job.

To begin with, I had a paid subscription. They sent me an email saying I needed to "update my payment information" or I would lose my "premium" account... Well seeing I did not want to renew, I did not update this info... Somehow they got my new card info and charged me anyway... Now for their content "Script Nazis" If you post or make a comment on a post, that goes against "their agenda narrative" they will "censor" you or even close your account. This will be done even if you "pay" for a premium account... Nope, they do not refund. They have no clear policy, just a bunch of "word stuff", they will interprete the way, they wish. They censor the truth, when it does not fit their narrative... Hey, but you can open a profile be an "Out House CEO" Be Colonel Urinal leading a squad of Commode Commandos. The only time they will require identity verification is when you post or make a comment that goes against the narrative set forth by their "Script Nazis" Funny but they asked for my ID even though I have submitted it before... I'm done with using their so called "service"
