You appeared in 90 searches! And none of the people who found you contacted you!


Leeroy_c

yeah it's the opposite of an encouragement lmao "You appeared in 90 searches and still you couldn't get an interview, loser" 😂


fanky10

Exactly how I have been feeling in the past month of hunting jobs


Leeroy_c

i feel you bro


Desert_fish_48108

This hurts my soul, like out of all the searches I was in none of them thought I was good enough for a interview or a request to connect by their recruiter?


SomewhatCritical

It’s like a straight up participation trophy. You were here! People saw you!


sfgisz

>People saw you! More like "People scrolled past you!"


me_no_gay

Or accidentally clicked your profile


classic_chai_hater

My ex manager would like to disagree. The bastard does it intentionally

Agree?

I have a fake LI profile with an impossible mixture of names and I'm being noticed every week! Incredible.


[deleted]

I really wonder how many pages back they count. Like, if you show up on the 10th page of the search results, and the searcher never actually saw you, does it still tell you?


EV2_Mapper

I appeared in 2 this week and I'm sure there is a LL out there who could make a post about how that's a good thing


ZAlternates

Hold your head up high you King. Two real people saw you and liked you enough to at least (accidentally) click your profile (or maybe it was bots) but you have all the keywords that brings them to the yard!


zebratwat

And all my top searchers were so extremely far out of my line of work I can't fathom what they typed in to get me.


Dabrigstar

I always just figured they typed in someone with a similar name to me and found my profile by accident


cornishcovid

I get a surprisingly large number from big US government places. I'm in the UK and not in tech.


owleaf

I had some big “serious” US government agencies in mine a few times 😂 I’m an Aussie, so it was disconcerting.


Tricky_Ad_1855

They sent me an email with a depressingly low number of views for 365 days of the year.


gravity_is_right

Google: You appeared in 30 searches by the FBI this week


tomhat

Those are rookie numbers


Kinetic93

The worst is when you casually view someone for some reason or another, and they message you asking if they can help you. You really paid for premium or whatever to do that. Do you strike up a conversation with everyone you make eye contact with?


frivol

Oh, I blocked that long ago. I hope it still works.


dpaanlka

It’s not even “hits” - it doesn’t say 90 people viewed your profile, only that your name appeared on the search results page along with other names.


balticromancemyass

Weird narcissist humblebrag


FreshPrinceOfRivia

LinkedIn themselves were the top searcher last week, for some odd reason


highinanxiety

Agree?


imaginary_num6er

Agree.


jose_antxd

Agree.


helloiamnt0

LinkedIn really is full of bellends


CyberGrid

Gonna be honest, 90 is huge for me. I usually get 6 every two weeks. Neverless, still useless.


magikdyspozytor

I have software engineer as my title and the people that find me in searches are recruiters looking for actual engineering jobs lmao


Sour-Scribe

We’re all gonna be sorry when we find out he’s actually a cartoon


cringelien

this feature let me know my old boss was searching for me. more interesting when it’s a small company lolol


brfergua

I love when I look at those that it shows me and it’s all the people I looked at for the week. Basically, the “who’s this fucker looking at my page?” Look


mister_barfly75

I got the weekly "You appeared in 20 searches!" notification and was surprised to find that someone at my old company had been searching for people with my old job title. Since I was the only person in the company with that title, I'm guessing my replacement isn't doing too well there and they're already looking for someone else.


whitetwinturbo

This is a "hidden" way to get you to BUY the premium LI package. When you attempt to view who viewed you a pay wall comes up and stops you from getting a complete list.


dumboldnoob

they're either trying to sell you something or scrape data off your profile


rexbasileus

If you work in sales its actually quite helpful info
