Why do people make it so hard to apply on LinkedIn? Like why do I have to fill out manually where I went to school, what dates and all the places I’ve worked at… does that not defeat the purpose of LinkedIn

It has to do with OFCCP compliance for companies that are federal contractors, which includes most holding companies / large agencies. They can’t use easy apply because it doesn’t capture the info required from applications.

Too bad you can’t globally opt out of all future “voluntary” disclosures.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
