Ghost jobs from Linkedin

[polecat]

I found his video pretty interesting I knew ghost jobs were pretty common on Linkedin but liked his video either way

The main things I knew was Linkedin is mostly a bs platform where people present a fake bs business or lifestyle.

I think it has uses but overall it's not that useful for businesses or people looking for work.

I saw before quite a funny video what happened on Linkedin one person was pretending to be an employment agency then the other person was pretending to be a real company with a job so each person was trying to scam the other one it was funny to watch it all play out in action.

I know some quality stuff is on the site but to more like 5% quality then 95% rubbish on it roughly.

That pretty much sums up LinkedIn. Most people there follow the “fake it till you make it” mindset. It’s incredibly shady, and I’m glad I don’t work with people like that.

I get some inbound leads from there occassionally, but I also get malware disguised as service requests . So watch out and don't get infected .

Very true.

I can imagine this happening often in work now some guy will make some bs profile, someone will not fact check it then put him into job he got no clue, then wreak everything .

I could imagine many fake doctors,lawyers,A.I experts among many more possible fake people.

Interesting never knew malware was done on their but with how badly run the site would not put it past them to have it on the site.
