Sort of funny LinkedIn story: I was fed up with the recruiters constantly contacting me without any relevance to the work I actually would like to do (if I was looking for a job in the first place, which I am not as my profile states). So I went ahead and changed my job descriptions to things like "The theme for Fresh Prince Of Bel Air plays in the background" and I have now been contacted about my Fresh Prince Of Bel Air skills twice.

- justinclift 9y agoI just changed my public description to say "Idiot recruiters Fuck Off". That dropped the amount of er... idiot recruiters substantially. :)
