Linkedin locked my account without reason or notice. I followed the terms of service. They demanded a copy of my driver license to unlock my account. I sent it, but it is still locked. It is nearly impossible to reach a live human here, but someone in sales said it could be a week or more. This is a worse data grab than facebook, this is more like theft. Avoid this company like the plague.

Just trash, the search is wrong and very poor, most of the employers force you not to use the CV sender, must go on their website and waste one hour for one CV. Useless, take advantage of people jobless to defraud of their money too

Last 3 years i am applying job through this platform and i never received a real recruiter call but there is lot of scammers. You will see some great companies are recruiting and you will click the link then it will guide you to another site then another site with hundreds of ads and scammers…believe me it' useless.

Thanks to Linkdin, I was able to network with industry leaders.
Linkdin's job search filters are very precise and helpful.
I love the professional community Linkdin has built.

LinkedIn was fabulous... before Microsoft ruined it by dropping features and endlessly promoting their paid services. At one time, you could see who looked at your profile, who read your commentary, but not any longer. Now, you get a teaser and instructions to whip out the credit card. I guess when you $25B for something worth $5B you get desperate. Wonder when they write off this investment?

No support whatsoever
January 30, 2024

The worst company ever. No support and no respect to its members. They block accounts, ask for ID to verify and then do nothing. Account is not woking. No support, and most importantly no understanding form them (((((((((((((((((

I have a profile there since 2017. But I still can't get used to it. My friends tell me that they get offers thanks to Linkedin, but it's not about me. My account didn't help me with career formation. So I don't see reasons to stay there.

Horrible Customer Support. I get better support at a gas station. My account was restricted, took 12hrs for someone to get back to me, and the same regurgitated "read our user policies" response after I said I have and didn't violate anything. Been a member since 2006 and never have. Then they say it was because an image I uploaded to Linkedin Messaging service which I RARELY use and it's usually a 'yes' 'no' 'Thanks' ect. No images uploaded. When I explained this to rep in email - bc you can't even get someone by phone the cheap ******'s - he said "read our user policies. This will be my final correspondence."

Unfortunately if you aren't on Linkedin you will be judged - unfairly. I've applied for jobs only to have the hiring manager ask me why I'm not on Linkedin like it's some sort of professional sin. Also many companies only post jobs on Linkedin now. Most of the people on the site are egotistical narcissists who can't stop ranting and raving about how successful, smart and talented they are. And the old line don't compare yourself to others? Well that is exactly the point of Linkedin, hell that is point of all social media and basically what is wrong with our world today.

Frustrating Site
April 13, 2018

I'm paying for the premium version of LinkedIn. This site can be super frustrating to use. Many of the functions don't work properly and the solutions offered in the help center don't even work. LinkedIn is the only game in town and they are taking advantage of it. Super frustrating. Use the free version is you have to be on it.

I signed up to Linkedn in 2013 but never really got involved until Feb. 2015 due to lack of free time. I answered a couple questions from other photographers from my 38 years of experience and it all hit the fan. I got nothing but angry, insulting, threatening posts flying in from every direction one of the worst was a former cop telling be what laws I was breaking shooting graffiti and street art so I immediately unsubscribed the first day I started using LinkedIn.

Took money

He took my $2,100 as a deposit and promised a start date for minor repairs and painting. Every day he had an excuse. He is now ignoring our texts and calls.

No wages listed
September 24, 2019

To be fair, I just looked at a couple of pages on this site and gave up. They list no wages. That's a huge factor in sifting through the jobs. Some of the same jobs are listed on Indeed, and Indeed lists the wages.

Best site for job seekers

Great site to keep you in connection with your business contacts. It's a great way to search for new career opportunities as well. They offer now premium services for job seekers. Seems useful but the "inmail" plan could be better, i. E., if they didn't limit the amount of "inmails" you could send. 10 per month is not a lot even at the highest level given the when you are looking for a job, you need to do much more than that per month.

No communication
May 18, 2023

People seem to think that LinkedIn is a classy outfit.

No outfit is classy unless you can talk with them! LinkedIn has no email and I
Could not even sign with them because you cannot get support unless you are
Signed in. And I could not sign in without support. Their form rejected my
Clearly-typed name of photo ID.

Not all companies fully utilize this site so its difficult to find good jobs or to get all the latest information or employee information. The free version works fine for most, but I personally haven't found any jobs through this site.

Excellent tool when you need to find a job or as a tool to keep your network updated all the time, also I like the possibility that create different networks at the same time and the classification system of your contacts.
