Description
As of February 5, 2024, LinkedIn does not provide a direct way to bulk-remove archived job posts from your profile. This script fills that gap by automating the process, significantly reducing the time and effort required to manage your job search effectively. It works by simulating clicks on the UI elements of the LinkedIn website, specifically targeting the removal buttons within archived job listings.
Features
Automated Removal: Automatically finds and clicks the "Remove job" buttons for archived job posts.
Dynamic Loading Support: Waits for and handles dynamically loaded job posts, ensuring that even jobs loaded after initial page load are removed.
Easy to Use: Can be run directly in the browser's console, requiring no additional software or setup beyond a modern web browser.
How It Works
The script operates by:
Simulating click events on the "More actions" buttons of each job post to reveal dropdown menus.
Identifying and clicking the "Remove job" option within each dropdown.
Repeating the process for jobs loaded dynamically as the user scrolls or as the page auto-refreshes.
Prerequisites
A modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) with developer tools access.
A LinkedIn account with archived job posts to remove.
Installation
This script requires no traditional installation. However, you must have access to the browser's developer console to run it.
Usage
Open LinkedIn: Log in to your LinkedIn account and navigate to your list of archived jobs.
Open Developer Console: Right-click anywhere on the page and select "Inspect" or use the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+I (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Opt+I (Mac) to open the developer tools. Switch to the "Console" tab.
Run the Script: Copy the JavaScript code from autoRemoveLinkedInArchivedJobPosts.js in this repository and paste it into the console, then press Enter to run it.
Monitoring: The script will log actions to the console, indicating the removal of job posts and completion status.
