tost1 Posted August 1 Posted August 1 Like absolutely every post you see there is a from streets of Miami to presenting at the Grammys kind of post. Humble bragging, wannabe inspirational, full of cliche wisdom... Instagram/Twitter people are at least aware they're attention whores but I think on LinkedIn people actually delude themselves that they're helping people who read their posts. Anyway, yeah... I woke up cranky... 4 5

Hephaestus Posted August 1 Posted August 1 You're literally advertising yourself for a job on there and the hero journeys/holier than thou stories are reaction/comments farms really. It's a sh*t social tbqfh, boomer galore. And don't get me started on people who actually use it as a dating site. CRINGE. 2 7
KatyPrismSpirit Posted August 1 Posted August 1 I mean you do have to do the best you can to advertise yourself for opportunities. In some fields it's very hard to get a well-paying position because of how competitive it can be. So i dont really blame people for it. But yeah its cringe to see people post these long *** inspirational posts sometimes. Especially when you know them in real life and they are complete airheads
KatyPrismSpirit Posted August 1 Posted August 1 Like people will post about never giving up, working through the hard times, blood, sweat and tears…. just to end up being a deloitte consultant after finally completing your 3 year bachelor in 8 years. Honey lets calm down 2
Alaska. Posted August 1 Posted August 1 It's like Facebook, but for the corporative world, which is why it's extra embarrassing. I understand why recruiters have to use it so often, but if I'm not looking for a job, I avoid it at any cost Spoiler Unless I want to stalk where people are currently working at 4
Robyn. Posted August 1 Posted August 1 Because LinkedIn is a reflection of the corporate world, which is full of **** too. Work culture doesn't allow you to be genuine most times, you're often wearing a mask rather than showing real personality. So LinkedIn wouldn't be much different from that. 5 5
jesus del rey Posted August 1 Posted August 1 Social media is embarrasing in general and lets be honest, ATRL takes the lead in this 9
Illuminati Posted August 1 Posted August 1 The whole point of linkedin is to turn your CV into a social media account, so it's kinda expected that people would be using it to brag and to make a certain impression about themselves 2
bad guy Posted August 1 Posted August 1 It's the worst. I don't know who decided this was a good step for finding work but however did can go to hell. Making a whole profile just so it's easier for these corporations to weed you out without even meeting you 3

glitch Posted August 1 Posted August 1 I've never really got it honestly. I try and keep my profile fairly up to date and I'll post if I get a new job but that's about it. Is it actually beneficial to post regularly about the same generic motivational **** on there? I'm not convinced it is. No one's going hmmm I was going to give you the job but I see you never post on LinkedIn, so I'll have to give it to someone else. 1

Sad Beautiful Tragic Posted August 1 Posted August 1 (edited) Highlighting your achievements on LinkedIn is perfectly fine As others have said, it's essentially an online CV, and given today's competitive job market, it's crucial to showcase all your qualifications, experience, skills, and expertise, including language proficiency and proficiency with various programmes. Since I joined LinkedIn, I've received numerous messages from companies, which showsthat a bit of self-promotion can be beneficial for advancing your career and standing out in the professional world. It's interesting that you would ask this question though, as many people here are are desperate for their favourite pop sgirl to promote themselves more in order to advance their careers and achieve greater success. It's no different really. The reality is that achieving success requires hard work and a willingness to actively promote your skills and accomplishments. In popgirl terms, taking a page from Taylor approach to her career - where she highlights her talents and seizes every opportunity to advance, would be beneficial for your own professional growth I love Normani, but OP's approach to LinkedIn reminds me of Normani's reluctance to promote herself and her career.

americanlife Posted August 1 Posted August 1 I hate LinkedIn. I've seen so many scam jobs out there that say one thing but it's actually selling cable door to door. And everybody on there is so fake. I have a profile but I don't utilize it very much. In most careers, LinkedIn is not as important as people think it is. 2
HASHTAGPOW Posted August 1 Posted August 1 I've learned a lot from business and marketing gurus there
The Pop Hub Posted August 1 Posted August 1 Not me reading this right after I wrote a LinkedIn post about me finishing my internship 😭😭 1

In most careers, LinkedIn is not as important as people think it is. Most great positions come from personal networking. There are positions that are not even advertised and you get the tea from an insider networking you build as your career goes on. Sometimes these people are in Linkedin, other times you don't even need to engage/follow/post. They send the offer straight to your phone. Linkedin is kind of a fluke in that sense. I see a lot of people posting whose careers are going nowhere… It's good enough for an entry-level position, but once you are inside the marketplace it's all about who you know and how willing they are to push your name for a position. People don't usually do these things for randoms they have on LinkedIn or saw once at a corporate event because the chances of backfiring are pretty high. Focus on impressing the right colleagues that will eventually work elsewhere and have a good impression of you Edited August 1 by liquiddiamonds
Cain Posted August 1 Posted August 1 Linkedin is a tool you can use to add to the probability of you getting a good job through posting about your achievements and building a network It kinda sucks but just post about an achievement you've had with a cute picture and post some of your workfriends' posts and have a clean profile page, that's what I do and it works, cause in this day and age your employer will take a look at your page
blown away Posted August 1 Posted August 1 I agree. It's only useful to get a job if you're looking and to gather some kind of network.
