Sick of people trying to link on LinkedIn that I do not know and not even sending a message along with it. Or sending recruiting messages with jobs outside of my level/experience.

Never understood the benefit of LinkedIn. I’ve got all these connections but very few people actually communicate.

like

LinkedIn is for guys like me who don’t run our own business. Us staff folk have to research and network our way into the next job. LI is for employment, not business development. At least for the financial services industry.

like

To add: I send lots of blind, generic LI connection requests purely to build up my connections. It’s just a numbers game, similar to cold calling. I need to see as much info into a company and hiring managers as I can in order to cold call my way into an interview. With every connection I increase my 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree connections to help my scam. Digital poaching

Ughhh same here

Weekly connection requests from marketing "experts. " 😕

So, if you are getting too many connection requests, just add them and blow up their inbox with ads for financial products! They'll wish they didn't add you LOO

I have been assigned to a Unbillable Project, they are building one app and have recruited people from the talent pool. The project is not registered in GLOW. And they are calling it as Voluntary Contribution type project for studio. Is this what they call Internal Project in

Will there be any impact if I don't perform as per their expectations?
