Do you think that the amount you post on LinkedIn bears any weight on the odds of you landing an interview? Asking as someone who rarely posts or shares because most things in my feed are incredibly cringey these days.

Always funny to see people who never post start to post right when they’re job searching….then stop a few months after the new job. Seems to be for optics only. Don’t bother if it feels forced.

No, I post very rarely (1-2 times a year) and get contacted by headhunters regularly. I think they just run a search for the role they are targeting, it’s not like they expect candidates to be brought into their feed by the algo.

Posting does not make a difference, networking does. Link up with individuals within companies you would like an interview. Contact their HR department and ask relevant questions about the hiring process or resume content.

I do think it makes a difference to recruiters reaching out tho for whatever that’s worth. They like a “presence” and “branding”. Doesn’t matter once your interviewing.

For more senior roles they like a profile. I don’t post at all but re recruiters have told me this.

If you have “too few” makes no difference if you post “too many” yeah that’s going to lose you interviews

Not at all. I never post on there and have gotten tons of interviews. I don't think it really matters at all.

If you see an open job posting at a company you want to work for, what steps do you take to apply? I’ve been told that cold applying and making no contacts is usually not going to lead to anything, and that’s been true in my experience. But should I reach out to someone first? Should i apply and then email someone? In HR? Or someone who’d be directly supervising me? Or someone at my level? And what should i say? Thanks!
