Sorry, but I simply dont recognise the description of what it "used to be like"...<p>Prior to LinkedIn, agents were just as bad, in fact I now consider LinkedIn to be the source of high quality job leads.<p>For reference, I'm an contract embedded software engineer who uses and regularly gets both LinkedIn and regular agent traffic. I've also got 20 years experience of this job market.<p>This article is simply wrong.
X technology destroyed Y job. This is not new, impossible to stop and a waste of time to whine about.<p>Instead our time is better used developing our skillset to be able to stay in the market probably focusing on the Z job that was created with the same new technology.
