Hatless posted:... These are not your friends. Treat it exactly like a Monster.com resume. A million times this, the recruiters that pick you up on here often have no idea of either the requirements of the jobs they put you up for or how your skills line up against the requirements. The amount of times I have ended an interview early because the applicant served up by a recruitment agency was woefully under qualified for the role we advertised for is staggering.

HiroProtagonist posted:I wouldn't be worried. Applying via one automated method often works out to be the same as if you applied via another automated method. I wouldn't be worried either, as long as the info on your linkedin is correct it is what your resume would look like after a "recruiter" has fed it into their system.

Sarcasmatron posted:The purpose of my LI profile is to give potential employers a representative snapshot of my experience, so by your definition it most certainly is my resume. I always tried to think of my Linkedin profile as a resume that is always "on" where people can get a decent idea of my history / achievements. I see other peoples profiles when I know they were terminated months ago and "haven't updated" their profiles, I think it would be fairly common. Not right, maybe even intentionally deceptive.

Xandu posted:Mine works fairly well. I'd say about 30-40% are stuff I'm interested in, and a lot of the rest are in my field, just not anything I'm anywhere near qualified for, like job postings for a director even though I'm near entry-level. This happens to me as well, you get ads for junior management and director level roles in the same email. I think it's just key words from your profile.

KetTarma posted:They don't want you to apply on your own as then the headhunter would not get paid. And this is another reason I hate recruiters. They BS the candidates into thinking the job is easy, they BS the employer into thinking the candidate is highly skilled. This works until the two parties meet and they both realize at about the same that the recruiter has taken them both for a ride. this is a generalization based on my personal experience interviewing recruitment company identified candidates.

HiroProtagonist posted:Particularly because as soon as you send a connection request, LinkedIn sends you to a page that allows you to one-click connect with people "you might know." With zero justification. I hate this, I try to keep a close network of people that I actually have worked with, and then I get an invite from someone I have never heard of before in my entire life who turns out to be some distant connection to someone I know.

Saveron_01 posted:They are decent, although the past few years their pay rates have remained stagnant, unless you have experience in a hot field. I think that with the state of things globally this is probably a pretty common scenario.
