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

39m in UK from Australia, feeling isolated and wanting to make friends

As post suggests, I'm an aussie who's been living here for a few years but life has fallen a part a little and now feeling more isolated as ever.

I love the UK and want to stay rather than move back, and am hoping finding some day to day comradery can help with that.

I work from home and anything to break the mononity would be appreciated!

Hi everyone. This may be a long shot, but I'm an Aussie expat who's been living abroad - mostly in the UK - for the last 15 years. I'm considering a move to canberra and really wanted to pick the brains of any brits who've done the move.

Thanks!
