Can I successfully contract without relying on linkedin?
So I'm up to head with the horrible hell hole that is LinkedIn. Yet my latest contract came via it, and no matter how much I rely on alerts I find it hard to occassionally use linkedin and not feel I'm losing out on potential opportunities.
If I set alerts for anyone I see as a good potential recruiter then I get alerts all the time as they all reshare and repost, and there's no way to add much logic to the filtering.
I'm to the point where I'd consider a permie gov job as would mean I get off the thing (although you could argue government meeting and 30-email long threads and their own hellscape).
Has anyone got stories of success here?
Thanks
