Re:Those jobs you're applying to? They might not be real

I am so glad to see someone else say this. LinkedIn jobs is utter garbage. I'll search for a particular skill keyword (a skill that I'm uniquely good at) and I'll get dozens of postings (promoted and otherwise) that have no mention of that skill at all. And a crapton of posting in other states.
No, LinkedIn jobs, I'm not interested in being an OTR driver or a sales representative. I'm a goddamn engineer.
Meanwhile I'm able to use search filters just fine in other job sites like Indeed.com.
It's filled with pages of "Promoted" jobs with 100's of applicants. I'm sure most are still filled, or being filled with the list they already have. If you're a current job searcher (which I'm currently not thank god), you can't make progress. These jobs never get back to you if you apply.
