Hiding promoted jobs on LinkedIn

If you're looking for a job on LinkedIn like I do, you're tired of the promoted listings that are always there and you cannot hide.

I was tired, so I decided to put a solution to it. I created a script for Chrome that does just that.

First, I needed to use the inspect tool to look for the element.

Now let's look at where the element is.

First, we look for the list item.
Second, find the main div inside.
Third, get inside the container div.
Fourth, get inside the ul used for the footer wrapper of every listing.
Fifth, check the content inside the footer item.
Sixth, we found the text we were looking for.

Now it's time to apply this for our script.

Script

We will use plain JS. Here's the script I created:

javascript: (function (s) {
    var job = document.querySelectorAll(".jobs-search-results__list-item");
    for (let index = 0; index < job.length; index++) {
        let div = job[index].querySelector("div");
        let container = div.querySelector(".job-card-container");
        let list = container.querySelector(".job-card-list__footer-wrapper");
        let item = list.querySelector(".job-card-container__footer-item");
        if (item.textContent.trim() === "Promocionado") {
            job[index].removeChild(div);
        }
    }
})();

As you can see, we get all the elements from the job list and with a for loop we are iterating all of them and, if it contains the word "Promocionado" (in my case it's in spanish) we remove that specific child 👶.
