Thanks for the input Eddie. I will make an update video soon to share updates and changes.

reallyy???

You have the chance to review the results and see if they meet your requirements. It isn't an exact science. And you key performance indicator should be interviews. I find this an easier way to do the administration for roles where I don't have any networking contacts to leverage first.

Thank you for your response. Can I attribute getting a job to LazyApply? No. But I can attest that the application is not the only method to be focusing on.

@@PDXBeach I'm surprised that from the quantity of applications submitted by LazyApply, that there's no attribution towards getting a job. Why do you believe that to be the case? Also, being a Chrome Extension, are you concerned about security over your personal information (home address, phone number, etc).

Hi, did it work?😊

Thanks for the ask Dami. There are many automation tools for LinkedIn. Although LinkedIn does a great job of stopping many of them to protect the TOS, the tools are still there. As long as they have an API that allows for integrations to things like Salesforce and ATS systems, I suspect that these automation tools will persist. Most of the products that are violating TOS are sales tools that automate messaging and connect requests. I can't think of a reason why LinkedIn would be against Lazy Apply as it supports LinkedIn's core talent services models for talent acquisition (a big cash cow for LinkedIn). That said, if we read the TOS literally, ANY automation tool (not authorized by LinkedIn) is a violation.

I would highly recommend you do not promote this. I just received a ban from LinkedIn for using this automated app after watching your video. Per their TOS, you cannot use bots. By promoting this video, you are letting people go purchase this and then have their account get banned.

I got banned on LinkedIn after using this. I already reached out to the company.

Did users of the tool get blocked?

Yes! LinkedIn is a global platform for the most part. The sticky part is getting visa sponsorship or finding a company willing to hire a non-EU resident remotely. Perhaps find EU companies that are also located in W. Africa?

Lazyapply requires you to be logged into whichever application you are using to submit your resume. In your case, having a LinkedIn window open and logged in. You also need to upload your resume to linkedin and Lazyapply walks you through that process during onboarding.

@@PDXBeach Ahh good to know, thanks!

Thanks for the comment Manaj. Eliminating the distracting background will allow the other party to focus on your communications. I have yet to hear of interviews using Whatsapp, but will do some research as it may be a more regularly used globally, not just in US. It's why many companies don't do Facetime interviews - not everyone has it loaded on their phone creating friction to saying yes to an interview. Recorded video interviews are unlikely to be done through Skype. One tool I'm familiar with is Hirevue. As far as time zone gaps, either the interviewer or interviewee will need to be awake at a time they aren't normally. I've done interviews at 4am and 8pm to accomodate this reality. Thanks for watching!

Totally agree. Companies may or may not respond in alignment with our needs. It's not clear that a 100% remote company is as effective as a company that is in office or flexible in its approach. For me and many others, there's no substitute for in-person interaction (and I'm an introvert).

Clients can find your content through the links you share in your contact information, in your featured section, and/or in each role in experience. You don't need a paid version of LinkedIn to have a good profile. LinkedIn does allow a file to be uploaded or a link to be shared. There's nothing that would stop you from using Google Docs, except that the Doc is something that someone can actually open. To save time, you may want to write articles on LinkedIn instead of just posting things if you have long-form content. The articles can be seen on or off of LinkedIn, even if you don't have a login/password for the platform.

As with building any skill, start with reading, listening to podcasts, and perhaps taking online courses (from LinkedIn learning, Coursera, Udemy, Skillshare, etc). I'd also consider getting a mentor, or someone you believe is a little ahead of you in their use of soft skills. If you want to be good at anything, you need to make it a study (Jim Rohn).

Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment, Caleb. It's always flattering when people recognize you! In terms of the jobs being duplicated, it's a feature of the system (LinkedIn/Indeed) to allow remote roles to be published in many different geographies. Although the role is the same, it's published more than once in unique geographies. The Lazyapply system doesn't identify these roles as the same. In some cases, organizations may be hiring separate jobs in those geos or have more than one job open. I remain under the assumption that if there's a fit, then location/remote can be worked out.

@@PDXBeach Thank you for providing clarification. I had a feeling that was the case, but I wanted to double check with someone who had first hand experience with the software. Again, thank you for the video and keep them coming!

currently you can showcase that as a link to a website (like behance, or a google drive document). this would be accessible in your contact information (you can add 3 websites), in the featured section, and in the role under experience you may have created for your freelance work.

Run the search strings and see which ones work for your situation.

It's an optional field on LinkedIn. I've seen people put links to commercially available products they helped produce, press releases for mergers/acquisitions, or even a link to a dropbox/google docs file that has the after action review/debrief of the project (including requirements, deliverables, etc).
