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

I got my current job at a German university as a programmer through some shady site that scrapes job listings. It still had a link to an outdated PDF looking for programmers. The person listed as a contact didn't work there anymore. And at least that position had already been filled.

But when I applied my application was forwarded to the correct person and they were about to post a new opening. It was a perfect fit.

Luckily for me, because the only other job available in that area was at a shady data collection firm that I definitely didn't want to work at.
