LinkedIn

Maybe I am just not getting something... What is the draw for this site? It's like someone took all the individual parts of all social media like games, notifications, intelligent info tracking on people. They removed those all from existence, and compiled the loser traits from what was left into this garbage site. Bare bones information, ridiculously absurd connection attempts, widespread pointless suggestions, and absolutely no purpose to this website as far as the mouse can roam. It seems this is the new-age version of those boards you find on university campuses full of posters and personal ads on people you really don't care about rambling on about some crap in their life that was purposefully avoided by all. Only reason for 2* is I get to use this site as a screening element. Oh you have a linkedIn profile? Great! Get your moronic self 5 states away from me, yesterday! You aren't worth my time.

I am Sandra Laffe,
I have a Linkedin account with more than 3500 connections and i was successfully using Linkedin for my business actively in various groups.
Suddenly my account shows temporarily terminated, after regular mails they give multiple accounts and inappropriate content as reason.
I am following up for last 2 weeks, they have not given me one proof of violation, neither we have multiple accounts, ours being a small company sometimes we login from same computer along with my boss.
My ticket number is [Case: **************]
Find herewith many mails send by me, which was not replied properly.
If this is not resolved, i have to take legal action,
Regards,
Sandra Laffe

The customer support is non-existent for all practical purposes. Email and phone already don't exist. Even reaching out on Twitter is hopeless, which in fact is the only option to reach them in case your account gets locked. Their backend software is full of bugs ranging from wrongly flagging accounts to payment issues. Customer support on tickets is rude, arrogant and incompetent. They expect problems to automatically get resolved if they don't respond for long enough! They don't provide any explanation when blocking accounts, and their Terms of Service are a joke! Absolutely Pathetic!

I have applied many jobs by paying a sum of AED 100 and applying for the jobs constantly. Being paid having capable qualifications linkedin still rejects my CV and send update that my cv has not listed. This is totally unfair. And also bugging and begging for premium. Once deposited linkedin becomes nightmare and plays a lot. I don't know what kind of qualifications linkedin looking for. Please stop cheating people and be a good service provider or close your website rather than cheating and playing innocents money.

Out of curiosity I took a free trial a few months ago. I didn't realize that linkedin automatically promotes you to a premium member without asking your feedback.
They began to charge me and I didn't receive any reminders about canceling my subscription or any follow up about my experience. I also don't have a company and I am on disability. I had no use for their services and I barely get by with rent or basic necessities.
The 65 dollar charges poured on for 2 months and maybe more depending on what my bank says after their investigation.
Any communication they gave me was in a "social" heading at gmail. I never open my junk mail or social mail.
I just hope they read this and have a little heart for me.

The social networks have become the norm where friends connect online. This is the equivalent for the employment network. Prospecting employees and employers can connect with each other. This may seem like a good thing, yet I have encountered many charlatans advertising their home businesses to me hoping to get me to invest. Some terrible agencies like Workway have wasted my time at least three times. I have not found a job with this service so don't get your hopes up.

I use Linkedin and its better than Facebook or Twitter for me. The only thing is that when you join "groups" and then remove yourself from Groups you still get the groups e-mails. I do not like this. Not sure what I need to do.
I would have given it a 5 star had it not been for this issue.
Also there is a way to not have a Group show up on your profile, but if it doesn't show up, its as if its deleted. How can I remember the groups name?

While LinkedIn started as a good idea, it's not really a good place to connect because people try to add quantity instead of substance of connections. I get far too many connection requests from people who work for companies I have never worked for or are just not in my state. I would prefer to connect with people who are close to or in my home town for job prospects and as a sort of reference list.

Like it or not, it's one of those things you should have if you want to enter a professional career (research, business, academia, ect). It's just for your education and accomplishments and where employers can gloss you over.
Fill out your profile, add what you've done and skills, add people you know and have them vouch for you.

It's not supposed to be fun. It's a resume supplement.

I agreed to try LinkedIn Premium for a free month. It advised me that I would be advised a week before the first charge on my credit card was made, to give me a chance to cancel if I did not like it. I waited for the advice assuming there would be an e-mail. Nothing arrived and I learned my credit card was charged when I happened to check my credit card account on the exact expiry date of my free month. I did not find LinkedIn premium of any use to me personally, and feel like a sucker for believing that advice that I would hear from them. So just a word of warning not to rely on that promise to advise you a week before they grab your money.

I recently reached out to Linkedin to bring to their attention roughly $2,000. Worth of unauthorized charges to my credit card, for what was supposed to be a free trial for a job ad. I received only a vague response from LinkedIn along with a copy of an invoice for $116.00 which did nothing to remedy the situation and only confused the issue. Like many others, I originally joined LinkedIn years ago under the assumption that LinkedIn was a fair and professional company. I have reached out a number of times only to be ignored as if my issues were of no concern to the company.
