My LinkedIn has been updated for quite some time now, and I've yet to hear from anybody. I have a little less than two years experience building SPAs in Angular, and an Associate's degree, so perhaps my profile is not as enticing as others.

Chase them via linkedin too. If you know their name, great, 2 days after applying (enough time to read your CV) send a request to contact. If you don't know their name, find someone in the company that seems like them and send a tactful message. Most people in a recruiting position should be interested in a conversation and at worst someone to call back in a year's time.

Wow. I put 0 work into linkedin. Literally a list of jobs and techs. No description on any of my jobs. I get 5 or so LinkedIn emails per week. No idea what they search for though... a lot mention something like Java or Scala which I have n my resume, but no reason people would not also be looking for Angular or JavaScript...

Hmmm, interesting! Do you have things related to Java or Scala in your 'Skills' section on LinkedIn? I have it listed under my experience, but I didn't have it added to 'Skills', which might have been what it was. Oh well, it's updated now. I think the rest of my profile does a pretty good job of explaining my capabilities. Thanks for the response!
