My feed is filled with dumb “advices”, so called “professionals” that post the most entry level stuff and all sorts of shit that if I were a recruiter I would stay away from these people
It’s the people who make work their personality and them circlejerking each other. Don’t get me wrong, there are experts in my field who post valuable stuff on there, but it’s about topics in our field, not about working itself.
I know a dude who spent high school doing blow, dropped out of college, assaulted his mom while coked up, fucked around until his dad gave him a successful company in his late twenties. I watched this dude cry at the kitchen table because his dad told him to treat the employees as equals and not dirt.
He now posts almost daily on LinkedIn about the keys to success.
I just ignore the posts, its mostly bullshit corporate propaganda and public asslicking.
LinkedIn is great to find a new job if you build your profile correctly. Work experience, skills, etc Usually recruiters can find you based on that. I receive at least 1-2 offers monthly based on this alone.
Also the job section is great, you can set alarms for certain types of positions with tons of criterias, like location, type of work, specific skill required, etc
The rest is just pure trash and cringe.
Can’t wait for a c/LinkedInLunatics to be migrated from Reddit
So many people on LinkedIn are batshit insane
There is a c/linkedinlunatics@sh.itjust.works but its not very active… be the change you wish to see!
!linkedinlunatics@sh.itjust.works is the link as far as I know, /c may be on the instance but the ! allows for cross instance.
Can’t wait for a Fediverse alternative to launch to be honest
