My profile on LinkedIn for the longest time stated "No PHP jobs please" as a way to weed out recruiters that would send me job offers for PHP roles on the basis that I once did some PHP.

I've updated the profile to include "No FAANG companies" because I'm pretty sure I would not be a good fit for them but that didn't stop their recruiters from pestering me.

Good one, I get contacted by Amazon several times a week on LinkedIn to apply.

For my LinkedIn I listed minimum requirements and it saves me 100+ inquiries per week but I still get a ton of irrelevant jobs.
