i hope it takes linkedin with it
LinkedIn is the human centipede of social media.
"I'd like to say thank you to [company name] for hiring me. To the unemployed, get fucked."
Lol I hate those posts so much
You also have to word it like a tome that reads like you've discovered cold fusion and have amazing philosophical insights all due to your amazing colleagues at your internship
I am DEEPLY humbled to describe how fucking successful I am 🥰
I’ve never understood why people use it for socials. Jobs! That’s where it fits in my life. Last two have been through there. That’s all it is.
But haven't you considered the UlTRa GrInD MiNdseT that could bring real value to your organization? 😘🤷♂️😍🙃🚀😐🥳🎵🇺🇸🎶🦢🤞👍😈🇺🇦🇺🇦🇹🇼🇮🇪🤌🤗🥵👏🤮🙈
Yeah it's basically like an mlm and boot licker haven
Especially if you use the mobile app as it is riddled with ads and there are no mods available as far as I know
Using any of these websites’ apps is insane.
Y’all WANT all of your data harvested, huh?
Why would anyone use LinkedIn for anything other than presenting your professional credentials? I can't even begin to explain how terrible of an idea it is to post on social media with your resume attached and your career on the line.
There is a person I work with who has the unofficial job of LinkedIn stalking our competition. You can get some ideas of what they are doing this way. Are they looking for someone with this particular skill set? Maybe they are trying to get into another sector. I got a bio on my counterpart over there.
Agree?
I'm not very active on linkedin, but it seems fine. The job listings are a bit shitty. There's other platforms that offer better job listings. Also there's a couple peopke who treat linkedin as facebook2.0, but I can mostly ignore those. I use it to keep a professional network and linkedin seems to be doing an okay job at that.
