LinkedIn

Finally deactivated my account as it served no purpose other than recommending me scam job postings and AI generated "user" posts of sub-part motivational trash.

I had a LinkedIn account that I relied on during my job search after leaving my previous position. I had built a professional network of over 100 contacts, including HR professionals and recruiters. Unfortunately, my account was hacked, and I lost access to all my contacts because the hacker used my email.

I attempted to resolve the situation by contacting LinkedIn several times to retrieve my account. I provided the requested documentation, including a picture of my state ID, but did not receive a response. I highlighted that the email they sent for password recovery was linked to a different account, but this didn't lead to any assistance.

This experience has been frustrating, as I viewed LinkedIn as an essential tool for career development. However, I found their customer service lacking, with no direct line for support. Based on this experience, I believe there may be significant flaws in how they assist users, and I've since turned to Indeed for my job search needs.

If one wants the verified status on one's profile, one has to verify oneself via the identity card... It would be logical if, after verification, there was no talk about a passport, which is seemingly something completely different! But even during the verification process there is still talk of an identity card! The verification process is handled by the third-party service provider "Persona"!

I should probably also mention that the CHEAPEST premium plan costs 29.49! EUR per month! The highest 122,92! EUR if one is a recruiter and wants to find job candidates

I've been a LinkedIn user for quite some time and have spent years building my connections. Recently, my account was hacked, and when I reached out to LinkedIn for help, they responded by sending a password reset link. Unfortunately, this reset link was sent directly to the hacker. I then received several emails, one notifying me that my password had been reset, followed by another saying that my two-step verification had been changed, and finally, one stating that my name had been altered. LinkedIn, owned by Microsoft, essentially handed my account over to the hacker.

If you are a business or someone seeking work, I would caution against using LinkedIn, as their support is extremely poor, and it seems easier for hackers to gain access to accounts than for legitimate users to recover them.

The platform's user-friendly interface and powerful tools make it easy to connect with industry professionals, discover job opportunities, and showcase my skills and experience.

Moreover, the ability to join groups and participate in discussions allows me to engage with like-minded professionals and stay up-to-date with industry trends. Whether I'm searching for a new job or seeking advice from seasoned professionals, LinkedIn provides valuable resources that empower me to achieve my career goals.

Harassment, plain and simple. They will never honor your requests to unsubscribe from their endless spam or even delete your own account. Not worth it, to deal with mostly fake job offerings.

If they need your credit card number then it's not a 1-month free trial. I wanted to view something on the site, but they don't let you view anything unless you're a paying member. You can sign up for a 1-month free trial, but when you click that option, they want your credit card number. Scam.

All I want is to shut down my LinkedIn account, but they make it too complicated to do so! I contact support, but they want my email address?! How about I call my attorney Frederico Antonucci?! Huh?! I call up the best damn attorneys from Brooklyn!

I have been trying to get a refund from them for over a week now! I signed up for the "free trial" of premium. They say they will send a reminder email 7 days before charging your card; yet I received no such email. The minute I received an email regarding the charges, I explained the above, requested a refund & cancelled the "free" subscription. Their error has also cost me, a disabled senior, additional costs in the form of an NSF fee from my bank!
Also, the majority of "job listings" turn out to be scammers. I've also noticed that every time I apply for a job that is posted on their site, the amount of spam emails I get are ridiculous!

None of this is acceptable! Do yourself a favour & stay far away from them!

Very bad, they rip you off with very expensive premium fees, and you only get scammers all the time contacting you. Spent 9 years on linkedin, not even one single sale or client came. And also they block your account without any reason. Total tyrants and fake product, 0 results.

Three times now I have experienced jobs posted on LinkedIn that the original recruitment company had no idea were on there. Turns out Linkedin have been scrapping data from other recruitment sites & posting that data/positions on their platform. One of the positions they advertised (illegally) took 30 minutes for me to complete the application. A complete waste of my time as the position was never available, so I found out. It had been filled 6 months prior to me applying! Highly unethical & shameful Linkedin!

This training course offered by Intellipaat, is very comprehensive (Lots of content, practice exercises for the real word), not to mention the expert instructions and kind efficient support team. I definitely undeserving recommends all intellipaat training courses to all who wants to take their IT skills to a higher level.

I believe LinkedIn is time well spent and a fantastic resource for job searching and professional networking. It has proven to be very beneficial for me and has given me the opportunity to meet and expand my social circle once you get comfortable with it and learn how to weed out the bad and scammers.
Even if you are not actively looking for work, creating a profile on LinkedIn is a great way to get your resume noticed by employers. It keeps you in touch with both former and present coworkers. You can sign up for a free account on LinkedIn, and important people frequently search through resumes and applicants, so even if you're employed, your application is still there and you still have a chance to land your dream job because more and more employers are now using standardised online applications, which increases your likelihood of being hired. LinkedIn also gives you the resources to research the companies before the interview, which is another benefit. You may.

The services rendered by linkedin are subject to communist propagandists reviews. If they dislike your beliefs they'll ban you indefinitely. Unfortunately it'll take a bit of time for people to figure out this is NOT an open networking tool for everyone but for the socialists and communists.

It seems LI have started to pay people to give good reviews, so time to redress the issue with another well deserved 1 star review.
This is a recalcitrant company who will refuse to delete your data and have the attitude of sue us!
See my earlier post on bait and dox for some insight as to how their poorly managed site operates today.
Absolutely no point wasting your time with these parasites!

Fond out this company had a breach June 2012. I was never notified as I should have been! Found out this info on credit karma website. I cannot post photo of this as my email address and partial password is shown, however, I will rewrite word for word what is states:

'In 2012, more than 6.5 million linkedin user passwords were breached an posted onto an online crime forum - but that was just he tip of the iceberg. Four years later, linkedin discovered more than 117 million email and password combinations from that breach on the dark web. Even if you don't use your linkedin account anymore, it's important to take steps to protect the info that was exposed.'

These sites need to be financially penalized as this is a atrocity. When will these pathetic companies learn?
