        How else is the South supposed to rise again, though?

      AMEN. I’m sure many women will agree with me that getting hit on in a linkedin dm is so demoralizing.

      I’ve had men as me if I did sex documentaries (?), just tell me I’m hot, and ask to connect because I look like I’m nice, all sorts of creepy stuff. These guys have impressive profiles and look like they’re doing well, but they are slimeballs and it made me not want to use LinkedIn at all, which is hard when you’re on the job Markey.

    Linkedin screens applicants using keywords and provides the results to recruiters. Scan your job market and write down all the buzzwords. Make sure they’re all in your resume.

      I recently had a professional outplacement consultant tell me this, and a few weeks later a recruiter offered me a contract job, after months of nothing.

    Adding in icon in your name will help you differentiate wether a recruiter bothered to message you or if they just sent out mass messages to a ton of people. If the icon is there. It’s not personal.

    Only expect to use it for networking. And avoid the social feed like the plague.

    What are you trying to do? Network? Gain followers? Publish content? Develop leads?

        Personally, I find LinkedIn networking to be pretty superficial. Yes, connect with people, but start with meeting people and then add them, don’t just connect via LinkedIn and do nothing from there.

    Use an email relay, and don’t enter many personal details. While this stuff is invisible to general users, marketers can purchase a paid linked in that allows gleaning that data and making call lists, so it will have your name, email, phone number, job description etc. This is fine if you hope somebody calls you for a job, but it also gets in the wrong hands and you get spam on your phone and email

    Be ready to pay up (premium, boosts, ads) or don’t count on achieving anything. Also, if you gave them money once - you’re labeled as a mark - and if you stop paying you will be punished by the algorithm until you’re ready to pony up again.
