Anyone else wish they could just turn off LinkedIn? Like the whole platform. I hate posting on it. I hate reading people’s post. I hate that recruiters look at it. I just want to to go away.

Even if you are not an aspiring LinkedInfluencer, having a nicely developed profile and work experience and summary helps. If a recruiter or hiring manager can find you on LinkedIn, they can easily see if you are likely to be a real person. Fake candidates typically have a very sparse LinkedIn profile and only a few connections. Real candidates usually have many more connections. More importantly, if you have strong written LinkedIn recommendations from former colleagues, those will help you standout from candidates who do not have any.

Yes, 1000x yes. It feels like a weird performative version of job hunting. I miss when you could just quietly apply for something without needing to “build your brand.” I keep it because it’s helpful… but it never feels good to be on.

You’re not alone. A lot of people feel that way. Think of LinkedIn as a tool, not a personality test. You can keep it minimal, check it only when needed, and still do just fine.

Hello recruiters, happy Monday!

I have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected). He's worried about if he should put the experience on his resume anyway, if he does will recruiters ask why he had such a short time at this place, and what will recruiters think if he explains he was let go. What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?
