Common problems and troubleshooting

Saved jobs not appearing

If saved jobs disappear or don't show up:

• Sign out and sign back in — session issues can hide saved items.
• Check that you're viewing the right account (you may have multiple LinkedIn accounts).
• Use the direct Saved Jobs URL: linkedin.com/my-items/saved-jobs.
• Update the app to the latest version or clear the browser cache.
• If the job was removed by the poster, it may no longer be accessible.

Can't set alerts or get too many irrelevant alerts

Refine your search criteria (location, title, experience level) before saving search alerts. Turn off broad alerts and create specific saved searches for better matches.
