This is the reason why I never click the hyperlinks on LinkedIn (or anywhere else, including my email, also including hyperlinks allowing me to unsubscribe from services etc.) while in my main browser. Always sending them to incognito browser. If it requires me to be logged in then I just shrug my shoulders and not view it again. That's because I (as somebody who is not an expert in security) can't tell what those lo…

I would like to have a null browser as default on every device.

When opening a link it would only show a popup telling you what app tried to open what link and it gives you the option to choose what app/browser to open it or just to copy it. On mobile it would also have a share button.

It would be a completely offline app.

Just these features, nothing more.

Edit: actually it sounds like a good first Android app...

I've been thinking it's time to start moving away from that damn site. - If I actually want to start conversations, I get a lot more comments on HN or Reddit - When I was a job searcher, the idea of just being able to apply from my profile was really cool. Except every job just re-directed you to some form that wanted you to upload a resume anyway. - Of the handful of potential clients who have found me there, none h…

But if you aren't technical, LinkedIn is still the best place to engage. I sell media advertising and LinkedIn is by far the best social media platform. It's also the best social media platform for our media organization because we are looking for B2B audience. The real solution is building a B2B social media network. But that is very very hard to do.

Like an online chamber of commerce.

Yes. Most people's CV's who have been around for a while are too long anyway. The goal should be one page, with only the most recent/relevant experience.

Empirically, I'm getting about the same results from my 1 page and my 2 page CV, based on call back rates, funnel progression, and interviewer comments. Go ahead and use two pages if the incremental content is relevant to your overall pitch. (In my case the extra material is relevant... I've run pricing at five companies, which is usually a massively cross-functional job. Unlike my typical competitor, I've also maste…

Don't get me wrong, two pages might be optimal if you have lots of varied experience. I wasn't trying to make a case for one page only. It really depends on what you want to convey to interviewers.

tell me how you find job posts, do you disklike the concept of a search engine for jobs?

I don't dislike the concept of a search engine for jobs. I haven't had to search for a job for a while, but there are plenty of places outside LinkedIn which provide job listings

the whole idea of search engine is that you only go to one place, so, what that one place is gonna be?
