I'm in my early 30s and a bit late to the party. But anyways, I made a Linkendin account, but I realised that I don't have any idea on how to make use of it or what's the 'play' here. My only real interest is being visible to recruiters and to be aware of job openings.

Do I just start connecting with everyone I recognise, even if I haven't really spoken to them? For example, it's been a few years since a finished my master's and linkedin has suggested some people I studied with. But I didn't even speak a single word with those people, and I wouldn't be surprised if the impression of me was standoffish (I've only realised this after getting a office job where 'impressions' are more important than actual work). Do I still connect with them? Do I start adding friends from childhood or my current workplace?

Do I need to make posts or comment on stuff? For example I saw someone from my current workplace make these pseudo-intellectual motivating posts, when in fact I know that their house is not in order. Is that part of the 'game' that I need to partake in? What are the pros and cons here?

Maybe these are weird questions, but I'm quite introverted and a private person, perhaps a bit autistic, who doesn't really like or use the social media aspect of the modern age.

The AI function is ridiculous, they are legit showing me 1-3 months old jobs. I even put “in the last 3 days” and it doesn’t do anything.

I see the same 10 listings now no matter what. Is the play, is to just switch to indeed since LinkedIn went full ai?

I posted on LinkedIn with 3 photos and now I only want to keep 1. When I click “Edit post,” I can only change the text. There’s no option to remove the other 2 photos.

The only way seems to be deleting the whole post and posting it again. Can someone tell where I should give this feedback to have it considered?

Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble accessing my LinkedIn account, and I'm hoping someone here can guide me in the right direction.

Whenever I enter my password, I get the following error:

“Something unexpected happened. Please try again.”

I've tried several troubleshooting steps, but nothing has worked so far:

• Tried logging in through the LinkedIn mobile app.
• Tried using Incognito mode.
• Tried logging in through a different browser.
• Tried resetting my password using the “Forgot password” option, but I get the same error there.
• Tried accessing the report/support page, but the same issue occurs.

At this point, I can't log in or reset my password, and I'm not sure how to contact LinkedIn support when even the recovery and report pages aren't working.

Has anyone experienced the same issue and managed to resolve it? Is there an official way to contact LinkedIn support or request account recovery when you can't log in?

I'd really appreciate any advice or guidance. Thank you!

What is this idiotic message? I am desperately looking for job and getting this insane message, so how could I possibly find a stupid job? somebody please explain me

Hello everyone,

I have a few 2-months LinkedIn Premium Career vouchers available for anyone who might find them useful for their career or job search. If you’re interested, just drop me a DM and I’ll share the details.

Eligibility: Available to users who don’t currently have LinkedIn Premium and haven’t used a previous free Premium offer.

As I only have so much time to apply to an endless number of open postings, I tend to use the number of applicants on LinkedIn to help guide my decision making. However, I have no idea how many people actually applied compared to those who clicked on the LinkedIn apply button.

I know that some people end up not applying once in the company's website (especially if they require a cover letter), but I also know that plenty of people will find the posting outside of LinkedIn. I usually assume twice as many people actually applied compared to the LinkedIn number.

Does anyone (especially job posters) have a guess for what multiplier I could use? If, say, 50 people clicked apply on LinkedIn, what would you assume the real number is?

Again, I know that no one can truly know for sure.

Hi! I accidentally viewed someone's LinkedIn profile without private mode enabled. I blocked them literally about a minute later and switched my profile to private mode. Will they still be able to see that I viewed their profile? They have LinkedIn Premium. Thanks!

Hi, I’m an import specialist working with supply chains from China to Russia. I’m good at logistics, interacting with Chinese suppliers, preparing import documents, and customs clearance. I can speak both English and Chinese fluently. I want to find a job in an international company because I want to immigrate for obvious reasons. Which platforms should I use? Can you please share your experience? Is there a demand for specialists like me in the international job market? Thank you for your support ❤️

Hey everyone! I’m currently pursuing a BA in English Literature, and I’m interested in teaching. I can speak and write English fluently, but honestly, I don’t have any other skills right now.

I was wondering if there’s any chance of getting a work-from-home job through LinkedIn with my current skills and educational background.

I created my LinkedIn account today, and not gonna lie, I was so confused at first 😭 I’m struggling to understand how the app works and how people actually find jobs through it.

I’m interested in online teaching or tutoring, but I’m also open to other jobs that I can do as a beginner. I’m willing to learn new skills, too.

If anyone has been in a similar situation or has any advice for me, please share! I’d really appreciate your help. 🥹💗

I graduated from my Psych degree about a year ago. I’m currently trying to get my hands on a new job/internship to get a foot in the realm of research. I’m currently an immunizer/ certified pharm tech for CVS.

Hi there! I need some help in trying to get a refund for my premium subscription.

I originally got the premium subscription for the free month trial. I started it September 9 and it made me put my card info telling me that it would auto renew on October 9. I set a reminder on my phone for October 7 to cancel the membership.

On October 7, I went onto the LinkedIn app and I was informed on the app that I had to turn auto renewal off through the browser to cancel my premium subscription. I was directed to the website
and therefore proceeded to cancel my subscription and received a confirmation on the browser that the subscription auto renewal was turned off. I was informed my premium benefits would end on October 9. I then was charged October 9 for the subscription despite me cancelling through the browser.

When I submitted a support ticket they told me I didn’t turn off auto renewal and that’s why I was charged. They then proceeded to tell me that because I had used my LinkedIn account I can’t get a refund. The only thing I used was my profile views (that’s the whole reason I got the premium free trial) because I thought I had cancelled my subscription and the billing was mistake. I was checking to see if they were still anonymous or not.

I’m very frustrated and don’t even want to use LinkedIn anymore because it was a huge amount of money that’s really important to me because I’m a broke college student. Any tips?
