    right, and maybe then saying that may have been useful, now its kinda necessary if you are job hunting and networking (and i hate that). and I cant not look for a job cause i need food and shelter and the economy is shit.

      I never said it wasn’t useful (mostly for headhunters and HR people), but it always had shady tactics and if you didn’t know it’s original purpose you could think it’s some not fully legal scam company…

          You’ll have a better chance applying directly through companies’ websites.

          LinkedIn is not my goverment’s social security department, not a housing charity, not a food bank, not the only jobs board and not even the largest.

            I agree with you. I’m just talking about the factors at play.
