The 10 Things Your Brain Can Avoid That Really Don't Matter On LinkedIn

Hello, people! Hope you're doing well!

It's been quite a while since I published my previous article, How To Become An Expert In The Right Way. (Do read it). 🙂

As I was drafting up a few articles, I came across one of my old posts which was little funnier compared to the usual ones & it literally brought a smile on many people's faces. Thanks to the person who originally posted it.😉 So, here I've given it a new look!

On LinkedIn, We come across various articles that are limited to a specific domain (or) a specific group of people. For instance, if you read my article Spotlight on 8 Standard Interview Things You Forget the Most (a must read for all the candidates out there) will benefit only the candidates to learn & the recruiters to share!

But whereas, if you read my first article, 8 Things Your LinkedIn Profile Tells About You can benefit many new people on LinkedIn (or) even help people revamp their profiles.

Thus in this article, I would like to share something that we all come across on LinkedIn much often & this will benefit many people not limiting to specific audience alone.

The main purpose of publishing this article is to make more people aware that no matter how funny it looks, the following points are not going to help your LinkedIn profile stand out.

So, here are the 10 things that really don't matter on LinkedIn;

1) The need for "disruption" in the #recruitment industry, yet suggesting candidates should be kept "warm". These are humans, not food. Dinner should be kept "warm", not people.

But I feel, it's a two-way street! Not just the candidates but also the vice-verse! 😉

2) A math problem that will verify if you're a genius or not.🤐

So, you become a genius by solving this! That's pretty much logic right?! 🙄

3) #LinkedIn not being #facebook. This usually includes their input on whether something is appropriate or not.🤔

4) Being hit on by the opposite gender. This sometimes includes public shaming, but not always. 😅

5) Candidates complaining about #recruiters.🤨


6) Recruiters complaining about #candidates.😬

7) Candidates and recruiters weighing in on #5 and #6. This usually also includes input from non-candidates and non-recruiters. The more the merrier, I suppose. 😉

8) How they love their new #employer. This sometimes includes a picture of their desk and "welcome kit". 😆

9) Binary code to #communicate with people. Seriously?! 🙄

I guarantee you'll smile if you understand the above one!😃

10) A family recipe inspired by their grandma's ultra-great-super-grandma on making Khichdi and 'Innovative' Sabzi. Wait... What?!!!🤷🏻‍♂️

If you enjoyed these 10, then 'click here' to check out the 11th & 12th ones as well!

So, let's make sure that we all post & share 'quality & relevant' content on this learning platform called LinkedIn and help somebody get benefited.

(This article is a revamped version of my old post)

I'd love to hear from you all.

Don't agree with point 8 though :) Because it gives a good insight into the company culture. Culture is a very crucial aspect which is very difficult to know about a company without actually working there. Employees sharing snippets of their work life like how they get treated when they join a company, events happening in a company etc gives a sneak peek into the company culture which is a crucial element when deciding on joining a company. It shows how the company values its employees. In my opinion, finding a company culture which suits your style of working directly correlates to the amount of time you end up spending at the company irrespective of whatever monetary benefit you might be getting.
