It might also help to specify details such as

where you are in the world
what field you work in
what stage of your career you're in

For example, I'm in Canada (Vancouver) and I see a lot of LinkedIn + school career pages

How do you find anything useful on LinkedIn? (Serious question) Filtering on location with few of and/NOT search terms doesn't yield many results. Their suggested jobs are irrelevant crap riddled with 95% repeating promoted crap that you can dismiss but your dismiss gets ignored.

I use indeed and it's been steadily getting to the same point as LinkedIn where they repeat promoted shit, ignore filters you setup and just straight up serve useless garbage irrelevant to search terms.

Tried monster and zip recruiter couple of times, it was never better than any of the above so I didn't bother continuing to try.
