How to Turn off LinkedIn Job Alerts on Mobile and PC

When it comes to finding jobs, LinkedIn is one of the places that can be used to look at new job postings. You can upload your resume to LinkedIn, get job recommendations, and even create job alerts. These job alerts keep you informed of any new positions that match your criteria. However, unnecessary and numerous updates can annoy anyone. So, if you are looking to disable job alert notifications on LinkedIn, this is the right page.

You can either remove the job alert altogether or customize it to receive only push notifications in the app or just an email. You can even change the frequency of alerts and turn off recommended job alerts. Let’s learn how to turn off job alerts on LinkedIn.
