Forget about Applying for Jobs on LinkedIn or Indeed and Do This Instead

5 min of nothing, everyone is a
mentor today 😩😩

Hello Sir, I am a doctor Vernerian from Afghanistan, I worked for 5 years with an international animal welfare organization in Afghanistan, it has been two years since i stuck in Pakistan , I humbly beg you to find me an employer in Canada that I go there and work in my field please.

Very insightful! Thank you! I'm subscribing

I have applied for lots of fake jobs, your. Tip is 🎉

No shit sherlock

Thanks very much

I've had success in getting my current job off linkedin and still get requests for interviews today even though I've been off the job market for over 3 years. The thing is I believe you have to research the job postings a little. You should do it comfortably while you're employed so you're not caught off guard. Like look at the job posts, see what's out there, because what I found early on is that a lot of employers would constantly post that they're hiring but they're NOT actually hiring. I'm not sure why they do this and believe it is because they have a high turn over rate so they keep the listing open and interview. With that said, once you identify these posts that are constantly posting, you can safely avoid them and post to real job openings that are looking to hire right now. It also lets you see when new jobs are posted and they're more likely to be actual jobs looking to hire immediately and would contact you asap once you apply. Just remember the job you're at now is probably not permanent so it is vital that you get one step ahead of the game and not being stranded.

Thanks!

Thank you very helpful advice!

Linkedin in most cases takes you to the company's website..............

Thank You very much

Worse, you ended up applying for a job posted by a 3rd party head hunter whose sole mission is to have a long list of applicants (to pass as referrals to companies). Much worse, data miners/sellers.

Thank you

Once you find yourself unemployed you get in your email from sites like Simply Hired, It's My Career, Get Me Hired. What a joke . Waste of time.

Great advice. Thanks

30 year software veteran here. I was on Linkedin from 2011 to 2021 and was "All star" level with 500+ connections, 40+ endorsements in C++, OpenGL and others. They banned me over a comment I made regarding Biden's vaccine mandate (I think, they didn't tell me the exact comment). They demanded a two-sided ID and my groveling to maybe get back on. I never went back. I still get tons of calls about jobs. Linkedin are useless. I don't miss them after 3 years.

Very useful video 😊😊.

Thank you very much…you explained it very well.GOD BLESS

That is superb info Bart. I have experienced this multiple times. This is a whole lot of steps to follow, filling lengthy forms and answering the questions, but then that is a necessary filter that companies apply to verify how serious a candidate is about joining them rather than blindly hitting the Easy Apply button.

This man's honesty and sincere helpfulness is refreshing. I wish more recruiters and coaches were this way.

I have a fine job, but am nonetheless interested in the topic.

You're saying everything I knew deep inside, but needed someone to validate out loud. Good job

Final step: Get ignored like when you applied on LinkedIn because 100+ people already applied and applying for jobs online is ineffective.

Great advice.

Thank You!

Try going to a bar at 3 o clock, many bosses go to a drink at that time and sometimes blurb out that they had to fire someone.

You are absolutely right I will go directly to the company from now on 😊 thanks very much

The problem with this is that all the job postings are through recruiters and rarely tell you what the real company is for my field. I think the recruiters try pretty hard to not tell you the company, because they don't want you doing this where they wouldn't get the commission.

2022 business grad with 0 gaps in my resume and I still can't find an entry level job in any business field - marketing, HR, communications, sales, operations. Over 1000 applications since May 2022. I have spent countless hours refining my resume, custom cover letters and networking on LinkedIn and I am struggling so much. Feels hopeless

Great video. I started watching your videos last year as a beginner before giving stock and crypto market a trial. I was able to make $78,300 in one month with a capital of $22,000 trading with an experience expert who guided me through out my trading.

Run Forrest run!

Be blessed, thank you

The advice that this man is giving is gold !!! It may be time consuming, it may be labor intensive. Yet if any of us have any expectation of landing a job ( especially a dream job ), I think that it would incumbent upon us to follow his instruction(s). This is no different from how the state employment websites direct applicants when they do postings. So, you know that what he is saying is precise and on point.

It's also worth mentioning that LinkedIn and Indeed use AI to pick applicants, rather than humans. It looks for certain key words in your applications. You may be well more qualified than one person for a job, but if you don't have one key word that they do, it will automatically throw out your application. I have had an immensely difficult time finding work, even when "every company was desperate for people" a few years ago, and I have a ton of experience and am also a veteran. This video has great advice. Indeed and LinkedIn can be useful tools to find jobs, but shouldn't be your only source to find work.

Thanks, valuable Information

Oh i get results. Rejection letters for jobs I am qualified and are currently doing!!!!!!!! “We have had so many applications and decided to move forward with more qualified candidates…..’

What if the application directs you from LinkedIn to directly the company's website? Wouldnt this be unnecessary in that case?

I just call up several employment agencies in my city and they usually call me back with a job. So it's easy for me to get a job.

I don't use job boards, don't do LinkedIn, don't apply in person at businesses, etc. Employment agencies just find jobs for me.

I've had some success with Indeed, but LinkedIn has been nothing but spam.

Who come your mantal I come

WoW

Great video Sir. It's very informative 👌 👍. Thank you

Thank you.....helps me a lot!!

This is a lot of work. Applying for jobs on Indeed is as simple as swiping left or right in 2024.

sound advice. It take much longer to apply on their website and you run the risk that they company aren't as on top of things as they should be, i.e. old adverts on site. The best thing to do is find a contact name and call the company to enquire. You learn things the hard way but the right way. Good video

As a Recruitment professional myself, I would rather suggest the job seekers
1. To search for the names of “Recruiters” who have posted these jobs from Linkedin and connect with them to share their CVs.
2. Identify the mutual contacts between them and the “Recruiters” from LI and seek their support to establish a connection or get their contact credentials.
3. Career Pages in the company portals also attract hundreds of CVs and hence it’s better to hear the status directly from the Recruiters.

Yes, in my experience, Indeed and Linkedin (as well as Ziprecruiter) are wastes of time, as a matter of fact, it increases your chances of getting scammed.

Thanks the information.

Thank you
