Linkedin is getting pretty spammy lately. Is there any equivalent platform (mature or otherwise) that is a clone/competitor/etc…? I really dont want to get premium just to message people. Image is the post, on Linkedin, someone who I agree with.
LinkedIn kinda works because of the size. Federated communities are generally smaller. I wouldn’t use one to find a job or to network
Agreed.
I think that just starting with networking might be the way to go. I mean if someone wants to a market a fedi alternative, they would have a huge advantage on software developers, server hosters, and generally our small communities.
Couldn’t you say that about almost all social media? I mean a big part of why reddit is useful is just due to the sheer number of users available to answer questions and such.
Sure but when you’re looking for a job/networking, you really need people
Nah, I disagree, respectfully. What you espouse is what we’ve been taught. One doesn’t need a hundred jobs, or to fill out a thousand job applications. One needs a job that fulfills one’s financial and other needs. Bosses need a hundred applicants per job, or think that they do, so they can choose the best one. Both sides would be better served by not wasting their efforts and getting to the best match for their separate and overlapping needs.
LinkedIn to me is just a platform where I go to get spammed by recruiters or watch middle managers passionately kiss corporate ass with motivational posts about how brilliant work is or how teamwork is so great.
It’s also a place where I add work connections that I otherwise wouldn’t send a Facebook friend request to.
headhunter used to be a real profession, when companies struggled to find applicants. now companies use AI to delete 9x% of applicants, based on keywords, etc.
On the microblogging side of the fedi, “fedihire” and “jobalert” hashtags seem to be frequently used for job postings, and “getfedihired” and “jobsearch” for those posting that they are looking.
Just post your resume here.
Why stop there? Emblazon it onto the irises of passersby with a high-powered laser, so it’s scarred into their vision permanently.
