It's been 4 months, I've been applying on evey job portals including LinkedIn, and what I concluded about LinkedIn is that, Don't expect reply from 'Easy apply', Be ready to accept Rejection mail already if you apply on Career portals of the Companies, the only thing which I heard is working in this sh*t market is referrals but people are saying that also isn't helping you to get even calls, I've read somewhere that this time 50% chance is you'll get a call if you have referral and 80% chance if the company calls you itself, talking about LinkedIn connection trust me , connections on LinkedIn is the most stupidest thing on that app, people will accept your connection Request and that's it because that benefits them as well, firstly people won't see your dm and even if they do they won't reply, i have connections from almost all the Companies but noone of them actually helped me to get even a call. On This app i feel people actually tell that they will refer you, i mean that's something i can't even Express atleast they are saying they will refer , better ask referrals from here i hope people here will do better for everyone , grapevine community is best so far.
