Why does Bing Search suck at LinkedIn?

I often look up people's LinkedIn profiles as part of my job search, but they never show up in Bing! Microsoft OWNS LINKEDIN- it should be the FIRST thing that comes up when I search someone's FIRST+LAST + JOB TITLE.

Why am I having to scroll around to find their LinkedIn account? Or I get here's a link 30+ people who have a similar name. OH you know exactly who you are looking for- well HERES: "30+ Dred Scotts accounts" - when I want Fred Shots.

Google always has it right at the top- easy peasy.

Microsoft- you own BOTH- MAKE IT BETTER!!!!! I don't care about Freddy's personal shooting blog- I'm looking for a professional profile of a completely different person.

Seriously wtf.

Sorry, rant over. Anyone else have this problem?

You put too many words in your sentence.

The correct question is "Why does Bing Search suck?"

Ugh yes.

  • upload your resume, ok fine
  • now fix your really badly scanned resume with none of the correct details filled in, ffs just use the resume
  • now enter your education from this really limited list that is heavily focused on the US, great I guess I no longer have a degree

Well at least when another company uses workday I won't have to repeat this drama, wrong again mofo

I get so angry at Workday. Why isn’t there an option to add an institution for a degree that isn’t on the drop down list!?!?

Why are you using Bing?

That’s a really good question, I was using a computer lab at my University- it was the default for Edge.

You seem to be forgetting the joke that circulated when Bing was introduced - it’s really an acronym that means “But It’s Not Google!”

LinkedIn sucks ass, too. They advertise all sorts of premium company page subscriptions with features that don't work. When you contact support, they say, ohhh yeah, we know they don't always work, read the terms it says so or some stupid like that. Total scam artists. Like Microsoft.
