I'm straight-up not comfortable uploading a government document online. Bite my shiny metal toosh, Microsoft.

Lots of answers here but here's my experience: I was met with the same screen and there was no way in hell I would send any picture of my id over the internet. So I had to create a Twitter account to contact LinkedIn support (yeah they only have support on Twitter....) and I explained to them the situation and they were able to bring my account back up. I suggest you try that route also.

I suggest you don't deal with any company that forces you to speak to them via 3rd party channels. If they can't afford an email or phone number...they flat out shouldn't exist.

For a grad school project last year, I proposed a Fediverse version of LinkedIn, with the ability to find and hire people for projects.

It's just in the proposition stage, but I got pretty excited about it. If allowed the opportunity, I might work on it as my capstone project early next year.

That’s something I’d volunteer to contribute.

Indeed is an alternative but I never used it.

Alternative: Submit resumes directly to companies you are interested in and/or use a recruiter. The latter is surprisingly nice. Last time I used one I got lined up for phone interviews with little effort and the recruiter pushed the company forward during the hiring pipeline when the company was being wishy-washy.

The recruiter only gets full payment if you get hired and stay at your job for a full year. (And this payment does not come from you!)
