Forget about Applying for Jobs on LinkedIn or Indeed and Do This Instead

If you depend on LinkedIn Jobs or Indeed.com to look for jobs you are probably setting yourself up for failure. So forget about it! In this video I explain why you should not count on LinkedIn or Indeed to apply for jobs, and what you should do instead. If you only rely on these platforms there is big chance that you will not get called in for a job interview.

The truth is, what he is saying might be true, but applying directly to the company doesn't change your competition pool. If 1,000 people apply for the job, you are competing against them regardless of which site you apply on. I apply to an average 30 jobs a week per site. And do maybe 4 interviews a week. MOST of the time that works for me for finding a job or contract. But I admit, right now I am having a problem cause I am trying to get to the next level of pay, and so far, it isn't working out. Soon, I'm gonna have to give in and start applying to jobs at my previous salary. Which I don't really want to do.

    It’s much worse than you realize. The government tracks all this activity via HR reports. Depending on the size of the company, they are likely posting jobs due to government oversight which means they already have a candidate picked out. Which mean they don’t need you. Just need to show hiring activity and effort to the government. Want the job, better know someone and network in.

    Create an expanded version of your Resume just for yourself. Under each position that you have held, list bullets detailing the activities you performed and the goals you achieved. When you look an an ad for a position, note the skills/abilities that are listed first, and extract from your expanded Resume the 1 or 2 items that match the requirements of the position you are applying for. In your cover letter make sure you point out the most significant areas of your expertise that directly match the requirements of the position being applied for. Good luck in your search.

    Very useful. I have submitted applications only to hear that the job was filled or no longer open. In addition, if there are any edits to the job posting, it resets the job posting. Let's say there is a Business Analyst job posted. 200 applications come in. The next week, the employer changes the title to Business Analyst II, all 200 applications are tossed out. I also am seeing among my experienced friends, they are not considered at all for jobs because they have too much experience. I have 20+ yrs of experience and time and again I am hearing "this is a junior role" even thought the listing says mid-level. But don't call it ageism! I liked the old days of pounding the pavement, walking around the city, handing out resumes. At least then you could look someone in the eye and get a feel for your chances.

One thing that Indeed isn't helpful for is how it may mark skills in the job description, and even preemptively reject applications as a result - I've recently seen one where the job description mentions preferring skills in one program, but mentioned a few other programs that would also be acceptable. One of those other programs, which in general I see recommended significantly less often than the others, was marked as required experience. That commonly used program? Not listed. This other other program? Required. Since I hadn't used this program (to scale, a friend had only ever used it in high school), Indeed didn't let me apply because I didn't have experience with - for emphasis - an acceptable tertiary _alternative_ for a program that they don't _require_, but _prefer_ experience for.

    When an employer searches for you on the internet, your LinkedIn profile shows up on the first search results page, showing the employer that you are 'real'. Some employers say that if you don't show up in a search, you don't exist.

    ​@@kissscareercoachingthat is the stupidest take I ever heard from a teacher. Teachers used to tell you to think for yourself and read multiple sources. Now teachers use tiktok and instagram and wiki as 'truth'. Talk about rotting your brain with social media and making it your only identity. If all people do is use social media 24/7 and are glued to their phone like a teenage or middle aged woman that drinks wine, that is a red flag. I wouldn't want to work for them either because they probably can't distinguish imagination from reality.

    Get a number and call. It's easier than ever to find the number of the manager or higher up you need. Don't sell yourself, just call and enquire about the position. If it's an actual job, they will have someone call you back or even talk with you then and there. When you do apply, they already know you. This is how we did it in the 80s and 90s and it still works. Jobs are about people, not pieces of paper or application forms. Connect with a human and you leapfrog over your competitors. Back then it took serious work to find direct numbers but now they are there on the internet. Make the technology work for you instead of the other way round.

    It's also worth mentioning that LinkedIn and Indeed use AI to pick applicants, rather than humans. It looks for certain key words in your applications. You may be well more qualified than one person for a job, but if you don't have one key word that they do, it will automatically throw out your application. I have had an immensely difficult time finding work, even when "every company was desperate for people" a few years ago, and I have a ton of experience and am also a veteran. This video has great advice. Indeed and LinkedIn can be useful tools to find jobs, but shouldn't be your only source to find work.
