I should’ve known someone that would make a ~3 sentence story into a multi-paragraph LinkedIn post would also have a 2pg resume

Post is way too long, this is a story and equivalent to feature length movie, and the ‘look at what I did’ is too much. High cringe factor for me

Tldr: I put my resume on a cake for Nike. I didn’t get a job since there wasn’t one open. Who knows got my cake. I inspired the delivery person so now I can write a LinkedIn post.

Did anyone else get this fb survey pop up while reading this Nike cake delivery post? I wonder if it is a coincidence or really precise image-text extraction mapping to fishbowl’s algorithms (please forgive my jargon for being cringe and probably inaccurate)

But like if someone ate some of the cake … you no longer have a resume …

She got 70,000 reactions in the first 24 hours, for the cost of one custom cake and delivery. Whether she got the job or not, that's a great deal. As a marketer, I've spent so much more for so much less engagement. Genius!

I mean, it’s Instacart not Door Dash. Maybe she did actually deliver the cake.

Karly ain’t getting that job, though.

I saw this in my feed yesterday. Immediate eye roll.

I’ve been working at a rather prestigious midsized firm in a big city for almost a year and a half now. I have been having a lot of trouble picking up work from senior partners. We are required to bill at least 150 hours per month to meet our requirement. My months are typically only 110-130 hours. It seems like the senior partners already have their “go to” associate for things. Does anyone have any suggestions on how i can increase my workload? I reach out for work pretty much weekly.

Hi Fishes,

I have an offer of around 39 LPA + bonus and my wife is holding an offer of 32 LPA in India.

My wife currently doesn't have any offer for Germany and might need to search for a job after reaching there. Is it worth? Need your suggestions please.

There really is such a direct correlation between cringey title and cringey posts.

Before LinkedIn...to me, the king of professional cringey was Shingy. Do you guys remember him? He was aol's overpaid "digital prophet" and got paid to visit companies at lunchtime and babble the same kind of nonsense we now call "LinkedIn cringe".
