Is there any benefit (or detriment) to applying to a job via LinkedIn/Glassdoor over the company’s website?

I use LinkedIn. I pay for it. What is nice is that HR gets an extra reminder, you can see how you stack up against other candidates, and you can see the person that put up the job so you can network your way in.

Though there's some truth to what ACD has to say.

I have never ever gotten a response back thru applying on LinkedIn, even when I have paid for it.

I've gotten multiple responses when applying through LinkedIn and through company website and I've gotten jobs that way too. There is zero downside to trying and if you're in fact what they're looking for, they will seek you out. Good luck!

Hi Fishes,

I applied to one of the roles and after initial screening I happened to see in the website that there are no suitable openings for my profile.

I heard that the cool off period is six months. Does that apply to my situation because I didn't attend any interview.

Can I use referals to apply before 6 months? Or should I wait for 6 more months?

Thanks for your help.

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot.
