I've applied a lot through LinkedIn a lot for years but for some reason I never get feelers of anything.

Most of my jobs have come from people reaching out to me. A friend of mine told me that LinkedIn job postings are faked or not postings.

Thoughts?

Absolutely disgusted with this request. I've reached out to LI support on Twitter. I requested an alternative method so I don't have to go through Persona and they keep linking me their useless support page. In case anyone hasn't read up on it, the contact form on the LI website doesn't work. When you submit, it doesn't even confirm anything. Surely, this is a way to bypass this. Would love to have a discussion on this.

Apparently after a beer or two, I joined LinkedIn a few months ago. Why? I haven't a clue. Now, after a million mails from them, I'm trying to escape. But can't.

I don't have the password to my own account.

I use Firefox on Mac. All passwords and logins are saved in it. Even new registrations. If I used my own email address when registering, it should show up there.

I might have used the easy way, using my accounts at either Google or Apple to create a LinkedIn account. But I can't find any setting in my accounts at Google or Apple that says so.

Due my own stupidity and beer consumption, I can of course just delete all LinkedIn mails as I see fit. But I'll rather end the LinkedIn account.

Suggestions?

Cheers!

WTF! I just created this list in the last 1.5 hours and saved my 17 results into a named list in Sales Navigator. The display on the leads home page clearly shows "17 total reesults" but when I click into the list, only 7 display. Anyone have any idea what's going on? The AI help tool was completely useless at troubleshooting. I've never had this problem before!

I’m trying to change the primary email address on my LinkedIn account, but I keep getting stuck in a verification loop.

Here’s the situation:

1. My current primary email address belonged to a previous employer, so I no longer have access to it.
2. I already have other email addresses added and verified on my LinkedIn account.
3. I’m trying to make one of those verified secondary email addresses my new primary email.
4. When I select “Make primary,” LinkedIn first sends a verification code to my current primary email, the one I can’t access.
5. I then choose the option to verify using one of my secondary emails instead or phone number,
6. I receive the code on my secondary email or phone number, enter the cod and submit everything successfully.
7. LinkedIn redirects me back to my email settings, but nothing changes. My old work email is still listed as the primary email.

I’ve also tried verifying through my phone number, but the same thing happens. I’ve tested this on multiple computers, different browsers, and my phone, with no success.

Has anyone experienced this issue or found a way to get LinkedIn to manually change the primary email?

Currently, my private profile characteristics just say “Someone at [School name]” when viewing profiles. I would rather it show my employer instead. I tried to remove my education and it still kept showing it with my school name. Any ideas or tips to change this?

The AI Job Search is absolutely terrible and now there's no way to go back go to classic? Nice work LinkedIn

Hello everyone! I am looking to use LinkedIn Sales Navigator, but damn it is it expensive. I’ve already used up my free trial for this year about 8 months ago, so it’s a while until I’d be able to get another trial.

However, I’ve found that you are supposed to be able to send someone a referral link, so that the receiver gets 2 months for free. I figured I could check with the subreddit on here to see if anyone is paying for Sales Navigator, who might be willing to help out.

If so, please DM me, and then we need to become 1st-degree contacts, and then be able to send an invite.

In return to the community, I’ll send a referral to as many as possible who also would like a free trial.

Thanks in advance :)

Let's say I want to start my freelancing journey providing personal branding services for founders on linkedin. How should I start, what deliverables I should give, what am I expected to do.

Considering I have some experience building my personal brand on linkedin, I'm thinking of getting this started. But do share your experience, lessons you learnt and if possible hows the current market for it.

Recommend a competitor analysis tool to me. It must include or search LinkedIn data

I'm one of those people who actually plays the LinkedIn games every day. Zip, Queens, the whole lineup. I've got a streak going and a handful of friends I race on the leaderboard, just a nice little hit of "I did a thing" before work.

So here's the problem. On Zip and Queens, if you scroll down past the daily puzzle there's an Expert Challenge, which only unlocks after you share the game link with 3 connections. Fine, I did the referral dance, whatever. The Expert Challenge is genuinely harder than the daily, which is the entire point of it.

But when you finish it, your expert time overwrites your daily leaderboard time.

So I solve today's Zip in 40 seconds, feel good about myself, then do the Expert one and take five minutes because it's designed to be brutal. Now my friends open the leaderboard and see me sitting at 5:12 on an easy daily like I've never seen a grid before.

These should be two separate leaderboards. Or at minimum, don't let the harder optional mode clobber the score for the mode everyone's actually comparing. It's a weirdly basic bug for a feature they clearly want people to engage with and they gated it behind sharing with three people, so someone at LinkedIn cares about it.

Side note: does anyone here even play these? I genuinely can't tell if it's me and four coworkers or if there's a real playerbase.

The license & certifications doesn’t allow for any sorting. The basic one would be by date which isn’t there by default. I wanted to report this via feature request but haven’t found a way to do this. [basic user, not premium]

So I have been having this problem since forever. I am not able easy apply on linkedin. I am always getting error saying, "We experienced an error loading this application. Please try again".

And the shocking thing is ehen my friend easy applied for the same, his worked.

It would be amazing if anyone who had faced this problem and got it solved can help me.

I used free trial for a month and forgot to cancel my autopay though i cancelled my premium subscription on linkedin. Rs.4491 was debited then i requested a refund i got an invoice but no sms or email.

Anyone with similar issue

LinkedIn's promoted “30-day free trial” is actually a 25-day free trial as buried within their Terms & Conditions. Their goal clearly being to snare people into a $198 charge for a service they intended to try out, not purchase outright. I signed up on May 7 and understood that 30 days meant I had until June 7 to cancel. I canceled on June 5, but apparently two days early wasn’t good enough for LinkedIn. Here’s what their customer service rep wrote in a lengthy series of communications:

To explain why this renewal took place, when the premium subscription was first activated, the Terms and Conditions stated that the membership would automatically renew unless cancelled at least 3-5 days before the next billing date.

Incredible that LinkedIn misleads customers into thinking they’ve cancelled their trial when there are additional steps to cancel, notification of an impending charge or trial end is not sent, and their members are on the hook for an entire year instead of the monthly installment plan with no recourse.

I opted not to continue with the Premium account after discovering that it had little to offer for the cost. That is unless you’re in the market for job notifications that are a month old with hundreds of earlier applicants, regular declarations that your profile is getting lots of views which turn out to be their bot network pushing you as ‘people you might know’ or AI drivel on whether you’re a fit for a job along with an obviously bot generated cover letter.

I have been using LinkedInd for the past 5 years and have applied through the Easy Apply section for long time right now and I have felt that even though most of the job requirements are match still the CV’s are getting rejected every time.

I don’t know what is the use of that section if we the CV does not read correctly and get auto rejected. Also the rejection Email will come all at once, which means that all the recruiters of different companies are reviewing the CV at once.

Of course, LinkedIn can be a better platform to showcase a person’s career progression and is ideal for networking. However, the problem is that it is quite limited in terms of connecting people and sharing skills and experience.

How am I getting capped at 35? This is insane. They also cap you at the speed you are applying at. I think it's insane that fake job groups I've BEEN reporting are still on the platform, but as a premium user, I can't apply for as many jobs as I'd like.

I'm using the Premium trial for LinkedIn to try and reach out to the developers of a game for verification on some information regarding a t-shirt I purchased. I was able to message one, but when I tried messaging another it tells me I've reached the limit for the month, but I still have 46 credits (the failed sends still counted towards them). Is there any idea of when this will be fixed? I can't imagine this is intentional, and it's frustrating because I don't want to wait and let my trial expire just to have to wait a full year to do it again.

Had a video call with a potential client who really liked my work. The conversation went well, and he asked what I'd charge on a monthly basis.

I told him I'd think it over and send him a quote. Later that day, I sent him a breakdown based on my usual hourly rate and proposed a monthly retainer. It also happened to be in line with what he said he typically pays new employees.

He saw the message but never replied.

Two days later, I sent a short follow-up. He hasn't even opened that message.

Now it's been about 10 days since then.

Should i send one final follow-up or just move on? I'm trying to figure out if there's any value in reaching out one last time, or if silence is already my answer.

Also, am I the only one who wishes more clients would just say "Thanks, but we're not interested," instead of leaving people hanging? Even a simple no would be so much better than wondering whether to keep following up.

feels like there's an inverse relationship on here

the more someone has actually done, the less they post about it

if you could write about your work but don't, i'd like to know why

not trying to convince anyone to post, just trying to understand the block

what is it for you?

More and more people are unable to access their LinkedIn accounts (especially those who created them in the last year).

I see people complaining on TikTok, X, Instagram, or Reddit that they can't access their accounts until they verify their ID or passport. It's a bit of forced treatment of users.

The second case is also a bit ridiculous – LinkedIn blocks you when you engage as a person (not as a bot) and restricts your account from a few hours to a few days, and it can result in a permanent ban. I myself was unable to access my account for 168 hours (7 days).

While there is a solution to the second problem, e.g. counter activities / Chrome extensions like SafeLimit, the first one is unsolvable.

Is it at all in line with any user rules for the platform to ask you for private data from ID?
I mean... before, they didn't ask for an ID card or passport at all, and you could use the platform. Now not.

It's been around 15 minutes for me

Maybe this does exist, and I'm not smart enough to figure out how to do so. I hold space for this reality too.

When I research various topics, sometimes, a LinkedIn post or an article would pop in my Google results. I think it's a great tool to boost one's authority : if your LinkedIn content is great, some queries will redirect Google users to your profile, and those users may happen to be prospects.

But nowadays, the reach for articles is down the drain, mainly because LinkedIn is pushing toward newsletter (which is a BS move, because Substack, Ghost and even Beehive are leading the newsletter game). So, OK, you want me to publish a newsletter straight into Linkedin ? Great, but will the content shows at some point on Google results ?

I run a web dev and automation agency — worked with a few clients so far, but now trying to build a real LinkedIn presence to attract recurring clients and establish trust.

Honestly, I have no clue where to start. My first instinct is to post about the automation tools we've built — showing functionality, like how one of them scrapes and filters leads in a single search. But I'm not sure if that's actually the right approach or just what feels obvious to me.

I'd love to study a few agencies in my space who are doing well on LinkedIn — not to copy, just to understand what actually works. If you know of any web dev/automation agencies with a strong LinkedIn presence, please point me their way.

Would really appreciate genuine feedback or ideas from anyone who's built an agency presence on LinkedIn from scratch.
