Also under Jobs -> preferences there's an option to be "searchable" for recruiters in various fields. Don't know if it works very well or not but anecdotally I had two recruiters cold contact me in the past week after turning it on.

This dude sent me a message on Linkedin in September 2016 with a job description and salary range. I responded politely and told him the range was too low, but thanks anyway. No response at that time.

Today he sends me literally the same message copied and pasted, a year and a half later, same salary range.



Hmm yes, I'm the one with the attitude.

You are the one with the attitude.

You can just ignore it or take three seconds to decline again. Like what would you possibly gain from telling him that? If you don't want to get contacted anymore I'm pretty sure there's a way to block them. For all that dude knows, your situation could have changed and you'd be interested now.

Hope that helps with your social media job hunting website profile usage.

Once I had a company recruiter contact me for a position that I had applied to already, interviewed at, and then been rejected for.

It was literally the week after I had received notice they went with a different candidate. I was pretty snarky to them and said something like 'hey you can send me an offer if you'd like, I'm still interested', but never heard back. I doubt it was because of my smart-rear end answer but who knows!
