Venting - Applied for 500 roles on LinkedIn!

Shitty and frustrated feeling - I have been applying for the better part of the year on LinkedIn (Premium) btw, for over 500+ roles on LinkedIn across various companies for a role in Business Intelligence, is it shitty for everyone out there or just me? Got couple of interviews then ghosted, what the f**k is happening? Is it just me? Please guide; our thoughts

Can you give a rough split of the 500 appications? How many were easy apply, how many were via forms, how many were recruiter DMs/ founder DMs ?

Easy Apply was like 15-20% rest were forms, I have made zero founder DMs however, had a couple of recruiter DMs

Yupp, linkedin is a good place to get referrals but bad place to to get interviews. Easy Apply button has just made it worse unfortunately.

I faced the same issue recently.

What's going on ?

I see there are many many job openings in LinkedIn jobs. I have personally applied for over 200 devops positions. But absolute silence, or rejection. What's happening?

LinkedIn is it scam ?

I am applying for Roles in Linkedinwhich I was qualified well (may be I am overhyping myself) but I am not getting shortlisted for any of the roles applying.

Is there anything I should do instead of just applying ?

Why LinkedIn Job Applications Feel Pointless

I'm incredibly frustrated with LinkedIn's job application process. It seems like the job tab never works effectively, and I wonder if others share my experience. Despite applying to jobs using the "Easy Apply" and directly on company web...
