LinkedIn, is there any benefit?

Question

Layout

1) Of course, I understand that if you are a specialist who can create programs with your left little finger on your foot, simultaneously shooting back from a crowd of special forces + stealing a spaceship (a joke, or maybe not) you will be easily noticed, and if you just embarked on the path of IT, what are chances of finding a job?
2) If the chances are good, how to build a profile, apart from these tips tyts and tyks , what to do next after that?
3) What are the chances of finding remote work for a couple of dollars an hour, on a voluntary basis?

Answer 1

Linkedin is mostly for the Western market, when you have already worked in several good companies, wrote cool positions in your history with beautiful and awesome descriptions, and in parallel with all this, you were smeared with all sorts of "connections" from all the same places where you worked (or with whom they drank beer at the conference). In general, such a Circle Jerk, where you will mainly be found by cunning HR, sending a slightly modified copy-paste with a job description.
It’s not that it’s a terrible bug, but only all sorts of managers / businessmen and HRs should be actively involved in the profile, who, as it were, without connections of any stripe, are far from going up the career ladder.
I, as a regular developer, simply accept almost all incoming connect requests and kindly answer the HRs "I'm not interested in the position now, but then I'll write something if possible", because Plan B is never superfluous (although, it still feels easier to find a job through friends or some Hired if you feel like crawling into this horror).

Answer 2

as already noted, linkedin is essentially a resume that hangs to itself, does not interfere with anyone. a lot of personnel officers hang out there, once every couple of months someone writes and invites somewhere, although I don’t make any efforts in this regard.
Secondly - and most importantly - Linkedin is very useful with its English-speaking interest groups, blogs of interesting people and thematic forums. in fact, this is the only social program known to me what it should be - without hysterical school politics.

Answer 3

Not exactly zero, but little ones. "Crocodiles fly, but low, low" (C) I have a profile in lin, though I rarely go. In contacts - mainly employees of recruitment agencies and other HR. Well, people I know IRL. What is good about the tench is that a resume actually hangs here, and there is nothing to complain about. But there is exactly as much sense from him as from a resume hanging on hh.ru, superjob.ru and similar sites, except that a foreign audience is still present here.

Answer 4

1. You must be able to sell yourself and present yourself correctly.
2. Himself from England, 450+ recruiters on LinkedIn, very helpful. Yes, and all sorts of invites are constantly flying, we help to see what is relevant and what employers are looking for.
3. It is unlikely that it will come out, because teaching a straight zero, so also remotely, is nonsense. It's cheaper to put an Indian for the same couple of bucks an hour.

Answer 5

No one needs birders, especially on Linkedin.
