You only have yourself to blame for making those 'private' details publicly accessible.
- TrevorJ 11y agoSo if minorities are discriminated against in the hiring process, they should just stop posting their picture on LinkedIn? That's not a solution. Secondly, what you are suggesting is at complete odds with the realities of our connected online world. You are basically asking someone to stop taking part in a huge part of the social experience in our society.
- DKnoll 11y agoI'd argue that what you call a "social experience" is really just giving your information away for the sake of vanity, but to each his own. Personally I don't use a profile picture on LinkedIn because my appearance is irrelevant.
- gozur88 11y agoIn real life you can't really hide your age. They can figure it out from your CV or just by looking at you when you come in for an interview. Personally, if they're not going to hire me because I'm not young enough, I'd rather get screened out as early as possible so I don't waste any time pursuing opportunities that aren't there.
