It really is insane to do this during COVID-19 where companies know that the US is on track for a second lockdown and thus slowing hiring. And doubly so around July which is EOFY and where hiring is massively impacted either side of this date.
Also I am probably unique but I prefer keeping my work and home lives very seperate and wouldn't be that keen to work with someone who was so publicly looking to blur that boundary.

- dkersten 6y agoSure, but it does suggest the person may have difficulty separating their personal and professional lives. Its not a strong indicator and it doesn’t mean they would be a bad hire at all, but I can see why it may be seen as a flag by some, rightly or wrongly.

I don't understand what you mean here? You wouldn't want to work with someone who posts pictures of their children online? This seems crazy to me.
- threeseed 6y agoI would just be wary of someone who was using Linkedin, which is a professional social network, for posting photos of their children. When you're hiring someone all of the little details are amplified and things like this give you a window into their judgement.
- closeparen 6y ago>second lockdown I don’t remember the first lockdown subsiding in any meaningful way. Outdoor dining with household members, maybe? Seems like a marginal economic impact.
