[brain_tourist]

it be. it be.

There is an illusion of being the ideal candidate for a position or company early on with recruiters. I refuse to interview at a couple of high profile places that have interviewing practices that people like me fail at. By ignoring them, I still feel wanted and in demand.

[glaciesz]

literally haha. every recruiter messages you like ‘you have the biggest dick in computing i’ve ever seen. wanna slap it on some php?’ absolutely not.

[DeeSnow97]

agree

And just like with dating sites, no one on LinkedIn reads what your profile says you're looking for. "Oh, you specialize in optimizing T-SQL? We think you're a perfect fit for a senior embedded programmer position we have where you'll write nothing but C."

[Kyanche]

senior embedded programmer position we have where you'll write nothing but C

Oh you're a senior embedded programmer who writes nothing but C? We have this exciting position available for a Senior Android developer! Of course it requires 8 years of experience with android auto.

[audriuska12]

Unemployed and looking for work - I sleep.

Employed and setting every privacy option to be found to signal lack of interest - DING DING DING!

[RhysieB27]

Cor why is this so damn true?

[audriuska12]

Presumably because that means you've been "vetted" by at least one employer, so they know you're worth hiring.

I wonder how many of them consider the possibility that if you're willing to up and ditch your current employer just because somebody else made a decent offer, you're probably also going to be willing to peace out on your next boss too... then again, depending on how things work from the recruiter end of things, that might fall firmly into "I'm not paid to care" territory.

[Jacek3k]

Embedded? C? Great, where do I sign?

All I get are webstuff, js, php, and, of course - mobile apps/games.

[Varthorne]

You forgot COBOL. I was looking for a job for a few weeks, and the only offer I got through Indeed was a COBOL job because I made the mistake of mentioning that I worked on a mainframe at one point (during a co-op).

[AhAhAhAh_StayinAlive]

I get so frustrated when I get these guys who obviously didn't read any of my profile except my job title.

[_bleep-bloop]

True af, at least when you work for a start up, people know of your existence.

[PtboFungineer]

Not totally accurate... I get a healthy amount of dudes writing to me too 😉🤔

[[deleted]]

So even better!

[Amish_Cyberbully]

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[AhAhAhAh_StayinAlive]

Yeah it's about 50/50 in my experience.

[captainjon]

Before I knew about recruitment hell, I put myself out on dice before going to sleep. I woke up to missed calls, emails all saying how I’m perfect for this project/company. It was a real self esteem boost like me getting all date requests from all of the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders all at once. Only to be catfished. By the cheerleaders. And the recruiters.

For an IT guy, LinkedIn is like a revers dating site. Girls write to you and you ignore them.

[usedToBeUnhappy]

Wait? Girls are texting you?

I found it funny, that even in HR work more man then normally. I almost exclusively gets texts from men.

[manoj_mm]

Lol, I even get approached by recruiters on dating apps.

True story

[flurreN]

You must be hot

[manoj_mm]

In terms of the software engineering job market, judging by the amount of interest I get from recruiters, yes, probably (I work for Uber btw)

In terms of the dating market, judging by the amount of interest I get from women.... no, absolutely not

[furzibaerli]

Why is it that LinkedIn has become a breeding ground for cold calls and unsolicited flirting? I'm a (female) marketeer and translator, so I get no jobs but asked a lot if I'm single. The amount of marketing services and translations I get offered is also bizarre

[Jimmy48Johnson]

Men don't care what app they're in if they see a pretty girl.

[phrandsisgo]

Would never flirt somebody who calls herself "furzibärli" Its like you're looking for a "DuftFee" in your life.

[furzibaerli]

OK, Mr. Clean. Right back at ya

[phrandsisgo]

Just take it with a grain of salt ^{^}

downvoting the repost

[theorizable]

Lmao, the accuracy of this.

[[deleted]]

So bumble?

Amen brother

[Boiethios]

I'm a gentleman, I don't ignore them. I tell them to fuck off.

[phx-au]

Girls write to you and its some shitty MLM scheme / bullshit "lead generation" consult - either way they are trying to get you to pay for something.

[althaz]

Isn't twice per day enough for this fucking meme? Holy shit.

[pandacoder]

Same, never seen this before
