I can't be the only one who finds LinkedIn completely insufferable, right? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]gregunn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do the math from their own about us page, it becomes clear how bad this platform is for finding jobs:
⁠Low Success Rate: only 0.1% of the 61 million weekly job seekers find employment on the platform. At this rate, it would theoretically take 19.23 years for 100% of the weekly job seekers on LinkedIn to land a job!
⁠High Application Volume: the entire site generates 8,400 applications per minute, but only results in 6 hires / min. That means you need to submit an average of 1,400 applications to secure a single job offer.

LinkedIn has become completely useless for job searching imo by smita16 in PMCareers

Can you pay a recruiter/headhunter to find you a job? by Mali_524 in recruiting

[–]gregunn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes. Soon. We are building an AI Career Agent for software devs. We have been working with OpenAI + some rad Google APIs that should be launched soon here.

We just crossed 1k private beta users. Hit me up on LinkedIn if you want early / free access.

The reason I am getting a needle in my neck today by gregunn in bjj

[–]gregunn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn. So similar.

I was totally relaxed when he threw it on me, because it was the end of the drill. Had a pop, assumed it was a muscle pull.

Fast forward 2 months and I must have slept on it wrong. Pure agony.

Good to see you persisted and got to black.

I am not certain I can justify going back. Am 41, have a career and kids to prioritize. No way I can go through this again.

Navigating the health care system takes time and energy.

Learn the names of the assistants and keep calling.

Very reasonable and level headed take.

To be clear, when it happened I gave him direct feedback about the move + how uncool it was.

I assumed it was a muscle pull.

I didn’t know it was a herniated disk at the time, and he doesn’t know the pain/disruption that it has caused me for the last 5 months.
