[–] 1 point 4 weeks ago (2 children)

First one more than a decade ago, second one about 7 years ago, definitely pre-LLM era.

I still receive messages regularly and I don't notice any difference from messages on the past. I answer one every now and then and it's usually a real person. Maybe they are using LLM, but before that they just copy pasted a template and changed you name...

    Always the recruiter initiating. As anyone working in IT, I get multiple messages a week, one in ten are relevant and one in ten of those are interesting, but I'm not jumping jobs every year, so it works in the end.

    Its really just have a complete profile, listing keyword technologies. In the meantime I have a few recommendations but I don't think those make a difference.

    Just to be the contrarian: my first job in my current industry was through a recruiter on LinkedIn. It got me an instant 50% salary bump and after a few years and promotions I was making double the previous job.

    My second job was... through a recruiter on LinkedIn. It got me an instant 30% salary bump and now after more years and promotions I'm over double the first job.

    This in in a country where I had immigrated 10 years prior. For me linkedin is the best social network ever.

    The only guy I can cite is seen as an expert, but I won't provide any proof, and the other 99 historians are all paid by the CIA. The Russian Duma are a bunch of Yankees and are lying, and all the documents are fabricated, please just look at this letter from Stalin which clearly exculpates Stalin.

    It has religion vibes: "the Bible is true, it says so in the Bible and anything in the Bible is true".

    I use this a lot in presentations, and have taught this to colleagues I have mentored.

    However I kind of understand the urge, when I'm on the other side and have to give feedback, saying "everything looks great" seems kind of lazy, or a cop-out. I have to fight the need to find something to nit-pick.
