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.

I would say that Naukri portal is good in this regard.
