I have deleted my LinkedIn Account after a long time of inactivity with occasionally logging in to “connect” with somebody.
I told 2 people about this, both of which were rather surprised and immediately asked me what I would do if im back to search for a new job. I got my current job through a normal job listing website and sent the application directly to the company, that was 8 years ago I don’t know why that would not still be viable, but their questions still made me unsure.
Has anybody on here found a job recently? Did LinkedIn help you in a big way, do you think it would not have been possible without? Am a web developer btw.
I mean of course it does help to spread your wings a little more. But on the other hand opening LinkedIn gives me instant depression, so i think you have to value in those things as well.
EDIT:
Or if you are HR would you see it as a negative if you received an application with no existent LinkedIn account?
Meanwhile, the Iranian, Palestinian and other death toll is rising and rising and rising.
You’re not wrong, but people’s material conditions don’t pause just because some horrible asshole is doing horrible shit. Still gotta pay for housing and to feed the family.
We’re allowed to discuss more than one thing at a time.
Yes, indeed we are. Especially if it helps to eradicate the evil horrible shits.
What is your fucking point?
RELATIVITY is my fucking point. You did come across as a little hostile there, given the choice of asking a simple question,
And here you are, commenting on social media, instead of doing something about it.
That really is one hell of an uninformed statement. Until very recently, here in the UK, you could be arrested and locked up for speaking out. Yet we’ve been doing it anyway.
Oh, so it’s okay for you to have reasons for doing things other than fighting the system, but nobody else gets that consideration? Here in the US, we can be summarily executed for speaking out, and we’re doing it anyway. Quit being insufferable.
