Found well paid job through Linkedin. It's not just the alternate social network, but for me it helped in finding new job. Used it as additional place and I'm thankful to linkedin for offering this opportunity

I have been banned or blocked from speaking truths that Linkedin doesn't want to hear because they have their technical head up the liberal's butt and are blocking the true truths backed by science and fact.

I don't really use LinkedIn except an occasional "congratulations " on there. I needed the Premium to send 1 message to someone. After that I cancelled it. They still charged me the $74. When I messaged them they simply said "Sorry your leaving Premium".

I've was a paid subscriber on LinkedIn for over 3 years. After getting blocked for 3 months on sending messages they wrote me asking to remove all pending contact requests and this would fix the problem. I did exactly what they asked and NOW... I'm still blocked.

I requested a cancellation of my account and a refund of the 3 months of payment. They only returned one month of payment. I've sent 5 follow-up messages to them over the past 11 days with NO response.

Any suggestions?

Difficult to edit profile, the profile settings are way too restrictive, and customer support is nonexistent. I maintain a free profile only because it's free and occasionally supplies interesting info about colleagues and friends. Otherwise I have zero use for this overrated app that is only getting worse.

I am not a frequent LinkedIn user and today I have discovered a new LinkedIn feature that further deters me away from this site. Perhaps I should say lack of a feature commonly known as customer service. There has been a critical security problem with my company page. I have waited about a day for a response from the available methods of contacting LinkedIn. The incident is extremely concerning but I do find comfort that LinkedIn is generally quite useless with limited traffic.

Scam Artist City
May 3, 2022

I was scammed seeking employment from 2 seperate people. They were both not even located in the United States they both used false titles and companies that went under or no longer exist. They want you to communicate via What's App and when reported to LinkedIn I was told they didn't find any issue with one person's false post for jib applicants.
I don't recommend LinkedIn unless you want to play games for a company or individual that doesn't exist.

We have been a mid-size client of Linkedin for over 10 years and they are basically sales robots. Whenever the conversation goes to making cutbacks on expenses then the "sale" push goes forward with responses to "review metrics and find better solutions". They of course are always ready to "add" services and expenses with no argument or issue.

I am an active member of LinkedIn since 2017, and it's an amazing experience to be a part of LinkedIn family. This platform helped me to promote my profile from local to global organizations. It enabled me to communicate effectively with HODs of different companies. It creates opportunities for its members to become professionally successful. There are thousands of members, who got their desired jobs through LinkedIn. I always love this platform.

Overall Linkedin is a decent site to build your career. However, from my minimal experience on the site, it's not good for connecting with people. I usually got connection requests from people who are unrelated to my line of work. They need to do better work on their algorithms.

Mr. Daniel answered my phone call. I'm pleased by his attention and cordiality. I do appreciate politeness. He also speaks Spanish, I do give credit for that as well (my english is not that perfect, so I do appreciate this a lot!).
And he answered my request immediately. From my perspective it is a well deserved a 5/5 stars.
Have a great day and be safe.

Fast and excellent site
February 18, 2018

Linkedin is an site and a company and also a business program. You can get an email from it and it helps in sending and receiving emails faster... Excellent tool when you need to find a job or as a tool to keep your network updated all the time, I have a fully populated profile, 300 connections, have been a premium member and have changed jobs since joining... No doubt, it is the best professional networking site.

I understand why people used to like LinkedIn, the promise of finding a job in an easier way by, connecting with peers, colleagues, recruiters, as a social platform to exchange and contribute to communities, etc.

While this might have been true, it's not the case anymore, LinkedIn publishes mainly outdated or fake jobs like any other job boards. It even often just replicates the scam found on other job boards or companies ATS. You therefore find fake ads coming from taleo, jobvite.com, monster.com (sic), and of course from the usual parasites: recruitment firms and HR people who seem to have nothing else to do than posting the same jobs over and over months after months to collect profiles and resumes...

LinkedIn doesn't check nor remove the scams, junks, outdated and fraudulent ads because they probably don't have the resources nor the will to do it but also because they make money with it.

This is why LinkedIn is less and less respected and attractive...

I ditched my LinkedIn account roughly a year ago after the fiasco where they got hacked and were found to be keeping passwords in the clear. Joined a decade ago when my job was in trouble and LinkedIn was all the rage in tech-land. Didn't do a damn bit of good. Contacts from people I knew were usually bad news. Headhunter contacts were usually way off base. Nothing good ever came from it.

I have tried using LinkedIn over 50 times and never gotten a call from any of them. Compare to Indeed with an average of 10 of 50 or other sites with similar results? Why is that? Part of it is that they most often force a total rewrite of your resume on third party sites. Partly because LinkedIn's entry area is as bad as most third party companies' that they force you to use. LinkedIn has very limited listings and if you make a change to your options, your history most often gets blown away. So, you lose anything you saved. Or applied to. It is even worse than that, but it would be best, just to shut it down. It is a complete waste of time.

Linked in seems like a good idea on the surface but unless you are willing to pay hard earned money, it serves little benefit. You basically can only communicate with people within your network which you already know or are familiar with. This will not allow you to likely find a job. It is called a job seeker's social network but the social aspect of it is limiting.

Good assessment of LinkedIn as a user, but omits how it works for a business page or for advertising.
In short - lame but slowly improving. Worst part is that their documentation is very poor - often missing or hard to find, and often out of date or with errors.

If you have a profile full of information and contacts it will serve you very good to find new professional contacts, business partners. But it's pretty difficult to contact somebody if you don't have any contact details except linkedin profile link. Website have a lot of paid services with no free alternatives that is very annoying. It also sends spam regularly.
