Hey, I actually like LinkedIn, but the titles people give themselves are ridiculous.
Somehow every company has 25 founders and CEOs.
I'm not sure why people think it looks impressive. Show me you started as an intern and worked your way up.
If you left BMG to become a high level exec of a massive company, either you're lying, or it's your father in law's business.
Oh for sure - LinkedIn has good uses; I even got my current job through LinkedIn.
Yet somehow every time I open LinkedIn I crack up...
- the selfie videos sitting in the car talking about some deep sounding high school motivational nonsense
- the highly personal posts about how many times they pooped that day
- the inane brainless banter in the comments; where frum men and women who wouldn't even make eye contact in real life just shoot the breeze
- the highly controversial posts where it seems like they're really trying hard to alienate as many potential clients/employees/employers as possible
- how someone with 14 months in an industry calls themselves a Director of XYZ (C level positions are when they get 19 months experience)
- and other hilarities that I can't think of at the moment
In a sentence, frum people decided to use LinkedIn as a kosher Facebook.
