Using LinkedIn for job hunting was miserable. All I wanted was to find a job, but it kept trying to shovel me to their social media and learning videos.

Plus, half the positions didn't even seem real. The "quick application" feature never got me anywhere.

I really don't like that companies are expecting you to have LinkedIn, as if it's some sort of ID badge you gotta wear. That gives way too much power to one website; they could start implementing some very shady tactics without resistance (and I'm sure they already have).

So thank you for this website. My experience going there was better than my entire time on the real thing!
