#12Can't you just create new account with a different email address?

#13You engaged in no activity before ban? Just banned one day? It's pretty scary all the horror stories one hears on HN along these lines. I wish some regulation would be imposed requiring some sort of approximation of "due process", so to speak, when this happens to people.

#14If it’s that important to you, maybe you can start anew with a different email?

Nearly all recruiters I've known in the tech sector (context: developers, project managers, consultants, business and technical analysts, mid level managers in bespoke development and inhouse verticals) used LinkedIn exclusively for talent scouting (I know Github is a thing but more in software product dev). If you are not on LinkedIn, you are simply not on the radar. So you would not be in their CRM without a LinkedIn profile to begin with. You could try contacting them directly, but the LinkedIn banned me and I do not know why talk would be akward at best.

You haven't been around the job market all that much then. I've even seen online job application forms that you couldn't submit until you provided a valid StalkedIn URL.

#17What is a technology consultant?
Another name for freelancer. I code and also have experience in managing IT teams. I decided to go solo and attempted to promote my experience via LinkedIn posts instead of GitHub code commits, for example.

#18I really don't understand what the purpose of having a linked in account is really except getting biographical information about people and seeing who's searching you on the internet, unless you are a job seeker.

#19What is a technology consultant?
It's in the name...they consult on technology.
If someone told me that was their title, I would assume that they were an IT (probably non-developer/engineer) generalist.
Sets up networks, configures hardware, handles purchase orders, etc. Whatever general "tech" things a company might need done that requires a knowledgeable person, but not a specialist.

Someone who insults your tech stack.
Oh no sorry that's a technology insultant.
