156. LinkedIn Lunacy: Faking it or Making it?


Listen Later

LinkedIn has transformed from a professional networking platform into something resembling a bizarre hybrid of Facebook and Twitter where oversharing personal details has become disturbingly common. The platform now functions as a digital first impression for hiring managers who often check candidates' profiles before even reading their resumes.

• LinkedIn posts range from wholesome professional updates to cringeworthy personal overshares
• Successful professionals typically focus on promoting team achievements rather than personal struggles
• Everything posted on LinkedIn follows you indefinitely - "the internet is written in ink"
• Your LinkedIn profile effectively serves as your modern cover letter
• Having a LinkedIn profile is non-negotiable in today's job market, even if you rarely engage with the platform
• The most effective resumes are limited to one page - longer documents won't get read
• Connect with everyone you work with - you never know when these connections might help your career
• Before posting, consider how your content might be viewed by competitors or potential employers

Join our Discord community for LinkedIn profile feedback, resume advice, and more career development support. We're here to help you succeed without crossing into cringe territory.
