timpeltjeI gave in to their incredible Spam effort, but the joke's on them! Timmy Shall Not Take It Seriously!
See my linkedIn webpage and love my work experience, go to: http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=158868333
I really really wish LinkedIn would stop spamming me.
First, I tried ignoring all their invitations from 'friends' (half of whom I didn't even know), then I tried putting it in my spam folder, but no, that wasn't possible, because somehow it always got filtered through.
If you can't beat them, join them? That's what I thought. I thought if I would join them, I would find a way to opt out of receiving all their e-mails. And I thought I did, but still STILL they kept sending me updates I never asked for/didn't care about.
I wonder what people in the Arts are doing on this site anyway, sure a potential employer might Google you and see your profile, but it'll basically be the same version of your CV, only with more exhibitionism.
Of course it works for some people, I can think of a certain (lovely) person in my family whose career was given a boost because of this wretched and godforsaken site. But exceptions confirm rules, my dear Watson....
"Headhunters use it", they say, but I think headhunters who do that show themselves very lazy to earn their commission.
When I was young, a headhunter was someone in the jungle who would have you for dinner.
Just sayin' !
I don't think I gave in to the site. If anyone is willing to employ me after seeing my profile, then.... well, actually, they should get in touch, we'd probably get along. Just FYI, I know it's not a dating site and all, but I'm taken, just so you sex starved menopausal women out there don't get any ideas...
So tonight was the last straw, again some nonsensical e-mail about some connection I had missed.
I wonder though. What's with the connections? Why should I be connected to a slave trader in China when I'm a pig farmer in Ethiopia? (business is slow as a pig farmer in Ethiopia, just FYI) I grant, the example is a bit extreme, but you get the gist of it. It's not because I slept with a person twenty-five years ago that letting the world know about it would help us further our careers in any way, right?
