A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Aren't messages the only point of LinkedIn? You create a profile which is basically your CV, set it to "looking for work", and wait for recruiters to message you, right?

I've switched off the "looking for work" after the n-th recruiter who hadn't even bothered reading my profile. I was under the impression that LinkedIn should also work as a social network for people to "word of mouth" recommend each other, or openings at wherever they work, but all I got was "coach" and "courses" type spam.

That is the trouble with relying on recruiters, there's essentially no bar to entry so the industry is flooded with talentless chancers
