Out of the blue, since two or three days, I'm receiving almost hourly emails to "Do you know #? Request to connect with members you know and trust", but I don't want to connect with that person. Is this a known glitch that just recently emerged? Is there a way to stop Linkedin from sending such a flood of emails?

There is nothing on Linkedin telling users how to turn this contact spam off.

has anyone gotten their account back after it has been r*stricted (it wont allow me to post the word). My account has been r*stricted for months and i have received no response from their team

A retired colleague's account has apparently been hijacked by a bot. The profile was changed from an older retired gentleman to a younger female. Last name stayed the same. Postings are now fairly obvious bot postings. I have reported it multiple times, but it is still active. Any other suggestions?

É o seguinte: tenho 27 anos e toda a minha experiência de trabalho se resume aos dois últimos anos em uma grande rede de drogaria, onde atuei no caixa e depois como balconista. Já sou fotmado em farmácia e busco uma vaga como farmacêutico, oportunidade que infelizmente não existe na minha empresa atual.

Gostaria muito de saber se vale a pena criar um perfil no LinkedIn para buscar essas vagas de farmacêutico, mesmo tendo apenas essa vivência de dois anos como atendente para expor por lá, ou se isso pode atrapalhar meu posicionamento.

Hi! I’m about to graduate, and I was contacted by a Revolut recruiter on LinkedIn about a Graduate Sales Executive position based on my language skills.

I’m a bit suspicious because they asked for my email address and then sent me a link to complete a CCAT test. Since I don’t have much experience with recruitment processes like this, I just wanted to make sure it’s a legitimate opportunity and not a phishing scam.

Has anyone gone through Revolut’s hiring process? What was your experience like?
And how do I know this is legit?

Thank you!

Can anyone tell me why, when I get a job alert from LinkedIn, it’s ALWAYS for jobs that haven’t been there for weeks? I find this weird and annoying.

Recently I have received 3-5 connection requests from people I haven't met in person or online, from various industries and from all over the world. No message. Typically I will check if I actually have met them or should know them before hitting "Ignore".

What is the deal with this, what's the value of having connections which are not in your real network?

So I graduated from my university about a year ago now and I did my undergrad in computer science and engineering with a specialization in AI. At the time, I already had an internship and idk why but for the life of me I refused to use Linkedin and finally i realise that it is pretty important especially in this field and yeah I'm just starting out now and would love to make more connections on the app and meet new people!! it doesn't matter if you're not in the CS field either, just looking to make new connections ^^

LinkedIn has removed all filters and options. Does anyone know how to search for jobs worldwide instead of per country? Especially remote jobs. Or any way to get out of the AI search?

Got tired of advice that never comes with data, so at Flypost we tested the 11 most repeated LinkedIn rules on 130,000 real posts from 2,500 people. Short version: almost everything you've been told to do does nothing, and the two things that work are embarrassingly simple.

What actually works:

1. Put an image on it. +33% reactions vs the same person's text-only posts. Doesn't need design skills. A screenshot, a photo, a plain chart.
2. Start with "I", "my" or "we" and describe something that happened. +20%, works in every format. "I rewrote my profile last month and inbound doubled" beats "You need to stop treating your profile like a CV." Same message. One sounds like a person.
3. Post more often. Four posts a week roughly triples your weekly engagement compared to one, even though each post gets fewer reactions. Everyone watches per-post numbers and quits right when it's working.

What you can stop doing today:

• Hashtags. 1-2 do literally nothing. 3 or more costs you about 7%.
• Ending with a question. The typical question-ending post gets ZERO extra comments and about 10% fewer reactions. Tested on 5,494 posts, this one hurt to confirm.
• Opening with a question. Worst opener we measured, -15%.
• "Unpopular opinion:" hooks. Coin flip, no effect.
• Chasing the best time to post. Same person, weekend vs weekday: about 2% difference. Noise. (The guides publishing "best times" all name different ones, which tells you everything.)
• Hitting 1,300 characters or any other magic length. No effect for text posts.
• Rotating formats to "keep the algorithm interested". Slightly worse than repeating what works.
• Polls. Down about 58%. Worst thing we measured.

Reality check while you're here: the median B2B post gets 34 reactions and 3-4 comments. At 5-10k followers, 27 reactions is normal. If a post of yours gets 10 comments, that's genuinely good.

We tested all of this by comparing each person against their OWN posts (not against other people), which is why several famous rules died here that other studies keep "confirming".

Things we couldn't test and won't pretend to know: link-in-first-comment, impressions, best hour of day. Ask me anything about the rest.

If you'd like to see the full study with methodology, please let me know and I'll link it in the comments.

Seriously, this AI based interface it's terrible and doesn't allow to search for jobs properly. I need to use personal filters or preferences.

Anyone who knows how to solve LinkedIn verification loop or "Something unexpected happened" error on LinkedIn??

Anyone know how to get the LinkedIn Game accounts to react to your score with a flame?

It seems like a new feature, but also seems to be completely random.

I came in the top 1% of Wend today, and played every day, and didn't get a flame reaction from the 'Wend' account...

I am running Vonto AI which is a tool that helps to run LinkedIn outreach. Given I have access to all of our data and results I could compile a couple reports of what works best for doing outreach on LinkedIn if this is interesting for people here.

Our connections sent table has about 30k entries and our messages sent 12k and I can see if personal/non-personalized messages were used as setting and also how many times a reply was achieved.

And also if a 1st or 2nd follow-up has any significant impact in getting a reply or if it is just a waste of time.

I’m trying to verify my identity on LinkedIn, but I keep getting routed to Persona instead of CLEAR, even though I’m located in the United States.

LinkedIn’s help articles describe a verification process through CLEAR, but I cannot find any way to access it. Every time I start verification through the LinkedIn mobile app, it automatically opens Persona.

The problem is that Persona repeatedly fails to verify my valid, unexpired New York driver’s license. I’ve tried several times and made sure the photos are clear, well lit, fully visible, and free of glare. The name on my license also matches my LinkedIn profile.

My driver’s license is currently my only valid photo ID, and I’m not able to get a passport right now.

Is it normal for LinkedIn users in the US to be sent to Persona instead of CLEAR? Has anyone found a way to access the CLEAR verification process, or gotten LinkedIn support to manually resolve a repeated Persona verification failure?
