linkedin 101 Venting on Job Locations

3 Upvotes

I just need to vent, but I'm really disappointed with setting up a profile that says where, location-wise, I want to work, which I enter my city and the option for remote, then doing a search for a position and selecting remote for the results and have jobs that are completely other states across the US that have nothing to do with my location.

I feel that I've suffered this with the free account and now I suffer it with my premium account.
Anyone else have a better tweak or idea I can use to actually get relevant jobs that are located in my city that I have set up in my profile and literally are in my search parameters?

job search Is it true what people say,about LinkedIn job postings?

2 Upvotes

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?

In search of a solution to avoiding the Persona request to log back into account

1 Upvotes

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.

How do I close a LinkedIn account?

1 Upvotes

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!
Dan

Saved lead list in Sales Nav shows 17 leads but only 7 will display?

1 Upvotes

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!

Can’t change my primary email because I no longer have access to it

1 Upvotes

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?

Is there a way to change private profile characteristics?

1 Upvotes

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?

Does anyone use LinkedIn sales navigator

1 Upvotes

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 :)

advanced question LinkedIn Games leaderboards for the Expert Challenge is annoyingly bad

1 Upvotes

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.

Order ‘License & Certifications’ by date in user profile

0 Upvotes

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]
