noob question -- How important is an online (LinkedIn) presence during the hiring process? Im going through something personally where the thought of any online presence creeps me out, so I deleted everything around June... now, i want to start applying to different jobs and was wondering where I should place LinkedIn on my to-do list. Do I have to prioritize it at all?

Its definitely nice to have. Its a good way to network and have a professional presence. Its becoming a Facebook-like platform unfortunately but its a good way to meet others and keep up-to-date with your peers' career progression.

Just realized that I didn't answer your question. Just make sure you that nothing bad is going to pop up if recruiters happen to search your name (on FB, insta, Twitter, etc). Be careful what's actually public. LinkedIn can be a tool utilized to say more than what's on the resume you submit. You can add your certs, volunteer exp, interests, etc

Thanks! I deleted all my accounts so nothing should come up but will double check. If it's not necessary to have a LinkedIn presence I might just not worry about it for now then. Everything I think is important is on my CV anyways.

So do you think each person seated in the emergency exit row would "provide assistance in case of emergency?" I think that's a game-time decision and we shouldn't be forced to lie about it beforehand.
