I actually retired and changed my status and it has worked perfectly - very few contacts. Superb!
My new LinkedIn job title is ‘space Marshall’, partly because my new role as a conservation volunteer sometimes involves enforcing social distancing. Also channeling Mark Watney.
- okareaman 6y agoI put retired in my profile as well, but didn't come up with a snappy title like space Marshall (I'll work on that.) My actual complaint is hat I expected to get sent stuff about other interesting things retirees were doing. I mean, a lot of people in the tech field retire relatively young with a lot of money and they just don't sit home watching wheel of fortune. LinkedIn is really missing the boat IMHO. I'm happy looking elsewhere, but it would be cool if LinkedIn did a smooth transitions for retirees. I wrote to the CEO about but got no response, which only heightened my feeling of being a ghost on LinkedIn LOL
- KineticLensman 6y agoPerhaps because post-retirement activities (such as volunteering for charity) are usually unpaid, so there is little if any incentive for recruiters to engage. Not sure how LinkedIn supports charity work. I'd check that out, except that it would mean logging in.
- tomcam 6y agoNote to self: endorse KineticLensman for space marshalling
- KineticLensman 6y agoI just added a 'Space Marshal' (only one 'l') skill in case anyone actually wants to endorse me for it. (I'm not KineticLensman on LinkedIn but searching for the Space Marshal skill should find me - at the Hawk Conservancy Trust)
