Should I include new job in LinkedIn?

2 Upvotes

I’m in Australia and just got hired as a sales rep. In America, I worked a senior level consulting role. This sales job is also office-oriented, but I’m wondering if I should list it on my LinkedIn profile? Not sure if the seniority lines up to put on my profile, I’ve got this job while I’m on Working Holiday here.

LinkedIn puzzle game streak restore?

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I recently lost my streaks in some LinkedIn games because it decided not to apply my streak freezes. When I looked, the freezes had actually disappeared altogether, despite a 500+ day streak.

LinkedIn support told me to pound sand, of course. But now I see below my games “🎁 restore your xx-day streak.” Does anyone know what that means?

Thanks! It’s lame, but I’ve had these going for a while now and I feel pretty ripped off.

Can't get verified on Linkedin

So I'm Ethiopian and I live in the UAE, however Linkeding doesn't give me the option to either upload my Ethiopian passport or UAE residence, Ethiopia is not in the list of countries and when uploading my Emirates ID or drivers license, it says it's not a passport and I need to choose a different ID type, but doesn't give me the option to do so

I know I’ve asked this before somewhere, but is LinkedIn helpful to you in the job search as well as connecting with others?

At companies I’ve worked at, I’ve heard of instances where HR recruiters and other recruiters do reference checks through connections *they have* at companies where the applicant worked prior, or a mutual company at a period in time.

I know this sounds like a lot of work, but if something undesirable on the part of an applicant comes out, I don’t see how the applicant stands a stance at exploring new employment / opportunities elsewhere, at all. Now I know this happens because I’ve had recruiters specifically tell me it does, but I feel as though LinkedIn is a license for most folks to bad mouth potential applicants.

Has anyone else ever experienced this or think they have experienced it? It’s really hard to tell if one’s experienced it or not though because it’s usually through the hiring manager or recruiters connection where the feedback would come from versus the references the applicant would provide.

And some may say that this is an illegal practice on the part of hiring managers / recruiters, but who’s ratting them out? I don’t know how they would get caught…? And I don’t care what anyone says but no one, NO ONE, is perfect. This is a concern of mine, and I’ve made mistakes in the past everywhere I’ve worked. As I said, no one is perfect.

advanced question Which service are you using for automated posting (text and image) on LinkedIn?

Upvotes

I'm currently exploring options for automated posting on LinkedIn that support both text and image. I'm particularly interested in services that offer API access. Any recommendations?

Example of use: an organization that publishes statistics monthly, accompanied by a chart.

personal branding Is it advisable to market my business on LinkedIn?

0 Upvotes

I run my own startup where we primarily conduct outreach personally for companies that might fit our services instead of having people come to us. I have recently signed up for LinkedIn, however, with all the posts I see on their where they use AI to write every single post, I was wondering if it would even be worth it to utilize LinkedIn in its current state as a form of outreach.
