Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

This app is becoming all but unusable. Between the increase in political posts and the inability for LinkedIn to stop fake positions and companies from listing jobs that either don’t exist or aren’t actual open, it has become a useless tool.

LinkedIn has been very helpful in expanding my resume and finding a job that fits my needs and skills. The only thing I wish that they could improve on is when I search for related jobs, it shows if I have already applied to that job.

IMHO LinkedIn seems to be shifting away from its original purpose and becoming more like a typical social media platform. Similar to Facebook, it frequently notifies me about things that aren’t relevant to my professional interests.
