Right? I think it could be done. I’ve been talking to friends about this for a couple weeks now.
I’m actually kind of interested in the people that have done “3000 applications etc etc.” The 100-300 applications are fairy common, but 3k?
Also, LinkedIn? more like LockedIn. There was a time where I enjoyed the service; I liked connecting with people doing interesting things from cool backgrounds.
But, I wonder if it hurts more than it helps... I feel like a lot of jobs are filled before they’re flown, every other job is meant for people who already have a job.
I like reading the job postings though; a lot of them are like non sequitur slam poetry.
This might be my naïveté (or the ipa), but I feel like it’d be cool to have a reversed scenario where I can get info on the team, the project, etc. before even reaching out (i.e. companies apply to individuals, but I think I may have reinvented recruiting? I know this may be unrealistic...)
Idk sometimes it feels like LinkedIn offers a non-service, talent will always be employed and/or sought; if everyone else is just a company’s 1000th pick aren’t they just wasting their time?
