Nobody cares what your GPA was, in any situation, ever. It's generally an indicator of lack of experience if you put it on a resume/profile, no matter how high it is just forget about it, noone cares.

If you do have a lack of experience, it makes perfect sense to include a high GPA.

I figured that was the general rule, but I have actually been asked multiple times before for entry-level jobs.

Able to get a written reference (recommendation) from a coordinator that I worked alongside briefly. Minimal but looking to have it benefit towards a support position/profile coming out of school.

After doing this for a long time I think linkedin has become much less useful in the job search. Anyone else have the same sentiment?

Is it okay to reach out and make connections with third party recruiters? I have experience and an industry certification, and I'm super interested in having people come to me with opportunities.

Red posted:I got an interview (Wed.) through a listing on LinkedIn, and it went really well. I sent a follow-up email the day after (Thurs., yesterday), and the HR person thanked me for it and sent it ahead to my interviewers. I got a call asking me for a 2nd (and final) round interview (3rd, actually; the first was an HR phone screen). I asked if I was in competition, and they said there were a "few" other candidates. Should I believe that?

Asked to do an interview and you're wondering if you're in consideration? Did I read that wrong? Yes you are and that's a good sign. Keep doing what you're doing and let the pieces fall where they may.

I work at a very good company but one of my coworkers believes in qi, as in, that people can harness it for their own purposes and basically defy physics. My point is: every company is likely to have at least one wacko, you shouldn't write them off for that.

Surprised to find out that this latest redesign has abruptly taken away LI contact tags ... all my connections, formerly neatly tagged-up with where we met, are now in one unlabelled pile. That's good and very useful to me

Why in the hell did they remove reordering certifications? I had them manually sorted newest to oldest. Now, I've added a new one, and it's at the bottom. I'll have to delete and re-add them all to change the order. Also, it appears impossible to change "Causes X Cares About", which appears on my public profile, but is completely absent when editing my profile. What a lovely redesign.

What would be a good entry level job for a political science and economics major getting his bachelors this year, in the New England region? I've already registered on Zip Recruiter and am thinking of doing the same at LinkedIn.

I know nothing about America's job market sorry. Recently I started throwing applications in to any relevant job that allowed me to apply via linkedin with minimal hassle. I'm not really looking for a new job but I want to know what else is out there, if I could qualify for something more senior if I jumped ship, whether I'm getting screwed on pay etc. Let me tell you, it's a helluva lot less stressful looking and applying for jobs when you don't particularly want or need an acceptance at the end of it, and knowing you won't have to fight in pay negotiations. If it isn't an offer too good to turn down, I'm turning it down anyway. Not being desperate to leave and without the pressure of being unemployed makes the whole process quite a lot of fun, actually simplefish fucked around with this message at 06:34 on May 7, 2017 |

I'm in a bit of a pickle regarding LinkedIn, and I'm not sure what the best solution is. The most impressive and job-relevant details about me are the projects I've worked on and skills I used therein. Meanwhile, my actual "experience" section of jobs I've held are just a random mishmash of "worked here for money"s that you'd expect from a recent graduate. For the purpose of job-hunting, I would really prefer it if I could somehow get my most important stuff to pop up first. Some options I've considered: 1. If there's some way LinkedIn would let me move profile sections around so I could display projects first, that would be best. Not sure if this is possible though, everything I've read about moving sections is only about moving entries within a section. 2. List my projects as "Experience" instead of projects, and maybe remove my unimportant positions all-together 3. Make my summary section "My projects are the most relevant", or the like edit: Option #1 apparently used to be available but is "temporarily unavailable" (and has been for months) Emmideer fucked around with this message at 20:05 on May 12, 2017 |

It's mostly dead, the only semi active topic is a "post if you want to connect to other goons" thread. I think there's only one or two people with admin access to approve requests, so if they're not around, no one new can be let in. Edit: I think it took me about two weeks to get accepted and that was like, in 2015. Ballz fucked around with this message at 06:03 on Jul 23, 2017 |

Azuth0667 posted:After doing this for a long time I think linkedin has become much less useful in the job search. Anyone else have the same sentiment? Agreed. The site's helpful for checking people's general backgrounds (education, interests followed, etc.) but I've yet to experience anything remotely similar to what the site purports in terms of connecting professionals. I'm hardly the "professional" type, but I do interact with people in the business environments regularly and I'm always looking for a better paying gig. However, LinkedIn has done exactly jack poo poo for my "career."

I've had multiple recruiters reach out through LinkedIn, and I found a job through the ads on there once. The recruiters were all useless though ("Oh, uh, your salary expectations are a bit high for the market...")
