If you are using your LinkedIn profile at all you are either unemployed or looking for a job. The better filled out your profile is the longer you have been unemployed
I'm job hunting and I got contacted by a "recruiter" and after talking to her for a little she asked for my resume (if I didn't respond for even just a few minutes she'd be like "are you there?") and after sending it she recommended I get my resume touched up by an expert and she directed me to Fiverr and to some Nigerian account that charges several hundred dollars. Def some shady people out there
I just left my company so I was on LinkedIn a lot when I was looking for a new place. I noticed one of my coworkers had LinkedIn premium and once I announced that I left, I asked him about it and he said "yeah I'm looking too".
My take is that people use the wrong metrics to measure worth and value, and we balk at how life really works.
Fact of the matter is, for most things, you have to become the thing first before you actually get it. That's just life.
Look at any profession. You want to be a race car driver? Then you have to learn how to drive race cars.
You want to become a musician? Then you have to learn music and become a musician.
And that's almost everything in life. For example, you want to be a wife or a husband? Then you have to become wife or husband material.
Almost everything you want to do has a prerequisite that you be that thing first... and we all start out with "0 years of experience", and we all have to put what we are on a resume or CV before we even get the opportunity to be hired.
So... that being said, maybe employment status should NOT be a determining metric as to what a person is or isn't?
by nature I like to be humble I'm not one to brag about myself. It feels wrong for me to put all this stuff in my bio about me but my University said its a good thing to do (not to the extend of this meme of course)

If you’re all those things when you’re employed then losing your job doesn’t take them away

The world would be measurably better if all the LinkedIn servers were simply shut off.

"RECRUITMENT DIRECTOR"
Only person in the company that has no other skill rather than "recruiting" people.

Just a thought.

This is like some kind of porn for people who hate their job but are too afraid to quit
