    Applied to over 1,000 jobs on Linkedin last year. Gave up and started using other websites or channels.

    It took about 100 apps/interview last year. These ghost jobs wasted about 6 months of my life.

    I'd drop $10k+ on a solution to this problem.

      Did you apply directly on LinkedIn?

      I've switched to finding companies + jobs on LI, then applying directly on the company's website.
