Any other recruiters in this bowl?

Tinder vs Linkedin

JPMorgan Chase recently introduced a policy change to increase the notice period to 60 days. I'm a 602 and resigned recently and yet my LWD is showing up as 30 days from now. Anyone recently resigned can confirm if they are facing the same or new policy is in effect. This is causing confusion with the next companies I'm interviewing with.

I wouldn’t apply. I’ve always assumed it means they don’t have an opening and just put “general” so jobseekers don’t write them off or forget about them

It’s a black hole for resumes
I did this for an agency. Only got a generic email weeks later saying “thanks for your interest, your skills are a match for the positions we typically hire for. we would love to keep your application on record and connect with you for future opportunities as they arise.” Always wondered if I should reach out to the recruiter and make a connection or not.
Hit and miss. I did it before and I was reached out a week after because there had been an immediate need to fulfill the position that I had the skillset for. I think often times though it's the company's method to build a list of prospects that do next out to no responses at all.
I would guess you’d have better luck using keywords in your LinkedIn plus “open to work” activated so recruiters see your profile. It’s kind of the same thing and works in real-time vs a dead inbox...
But I can see the completist appeal like, “well I’ve done everything I can! 🤷♀️” as we wait to see if the economy fully craters...
And then yes, cold emails/LinkedIns to try to make a connection to someone within can work...
I’ve never heard of this, following.
So instead of having job postings for an AS, it’s a “general application for Acct Management” or instead of CD, it’s a “general application for Creative”, etc.
