LinkedIn: Job Search & News

Brilliant love it.

Terrible, will not let me message to make enquiries without premium, got a free trial for a month (which usually costs £55 per month), then found out it still wont let me while on the free trial, proceeded to cancel my premium account, just to find out it wont let me cancel. Absolute waste of my time.

I have used this app for 20 years on and off and it is adequate. The functionality is average, but the adverts and unwanted contact from individuals who have paid to contact is unacceptable. Lately there has also been racist and antisemitism spouted all over the site and nothing is done about it. Wake up LinkedIn and do your job.

My iPad has not got the latest update capacity. My iPad is less than 3 years old looked after works perfect. I don’t understand why we must keep updating something which is not broken !

LinkedIn used to be a place for connections and job search and learning, and that was years ago. Now it’s full of snobs, people who copy and paste other authors posts and more or less the content is like WhatsApp forwards. Even the ads that are shown from LinkedIn are similar. Scammers, and frauds have found ways to exploit the LinkedIn users. It just doesn’t resonate anymore. The platform is being treated like facebook, people boasting about Soho membership, recruiters telling you how they get millions of applications every day, or just posting pictures of their dog/cats or 5 year olds. It has become a place of pastime. Sad and even sadder that LinkedIn now has reels. As if everything else wasn’t enough.

Love the app however the premium prices are crazy expensive!

LI used to be just for jobs but now much better. worth $400B??

LinkedIn is widely recognized as the premier platform for professional networking, offering a robust suite of features that facilitate connections among professionals across various industries. The app excels in enabling users to build and maintain a professional network, share industry insights, and discover potential business opportunities. Key features include: Professional Networking: LinkedIn allows users to connect with colleagues, industry leaders, and potential clients, fostering a rich environment for professional growth and collaboration. Job Postings: Employers can post job openings, and job seekers can apply directly through the platform, making it a convenient tool for recruitment and job hunting. However, LinkedIn has notable shortcomings, particularly in connecting unemployed individuals with potential employers. The platform’s focus on established professionals often leaves entry-level job seekers and those in manual labor fields underserved. Premium Subscription: While LinkedIn offers a paid premium subscription with additional features such as InMail credits, advanced search filters, and insights into who viewed your profile, many users find these features lacking in value compared to the cost1. The premium subscription does not significantly enhance the job search experience for unemployed individuals. Educational Institutions: Colleges and universities offer excellent courses and training programs, but LinkedIn does not effectively bridge the gap between education and employment. Graduates often struggle to find job opportunities despite their qualifications. Company Changes: LinkedIn has seen changes in its faculty members and employees, which can impact the user experience and the platform’s overall performance. These changes highlight the need for more innovative and problem-solving candidates to join the company and drive improvements. Conclusion: While LinkedIn remains a powerful tool for professional networking, it needs to address its limitations in connecting unemployed individuals with potential employers and enhancing the value of its premium subscription. The platform would benefit from innovative solutions and problem-solving candidates to better serve its diverse user base.

I wanted to message somebody. It told me I must upgrade to premium to do so. I paid £55 for premium. Wouldn’t let me message the person. Refunded and uninstalled

Linkedin is a great networking app
