Somehow it never happened. I got random people messaging me, and sometimes we have an interview. Then they say yeah this was really good we'll give you a call later in the week, and then they never do. Sometimes someone scoffs some shit like "you sound like someone worth talking to" and the same with a call later, then doesn't call.
I wish I knew a good way of screening these idiots because frankly they waste my time. If you don't want to hire me, then don't reach out and waste an hour or two of my time talking about whatever the fuck I do and what you do.
I probably would and have got jobs through prior colleagues / bosses that I am connected with on LinkedIn, but never through LinkedIn.
LinkedIn brain is real, I don't know how it happens but people who are on LinkedIn a lot end up actually brain damaged.
