My feed is filled with dumb “advices”, so called “professionals” that post the most entry level stuff and all sorts of shit that if I were a recruiter I would stay away from these people

    The only thing LinkedIn gives me is spam from trashy recruiters. The ones trying to fill a quota and do not actually read your profile. They are given a job requirement “Java” and fire a bunch of bullshit messages at anyone who tagged the skill.

    The first line of my “About Me” is a test, and 100% of recruiters who message me have failed to even read that very first line. And when I call them out on it, they always want to “schedule a call” to “sync up about future opportunities”. I’d rather they all get replaced by AI that will actually know how to read what’s on the damn website.

      Reading the comments here it looks like more people had this experience. I also had a few unrelated job offers but most of them are within my field.

        Most offers I’ve got I don’t even know what the job is. Like they will just say my profile matches what they are looking for and ask if I’d like to talk, no other context except the company name. I could ask, but I find kinda odd they don’t even say what the job is right away. Feels like spam, I guess.
