The people who hate linkedin with a burning passion (or at least see it as a bizarre, soulless hellscape of inauthenticity) are people who see sentences like this and think "the horror, the horror".
Maybe you really do "live at the intersection between NLP and financial marketing" but to me that just sounds like bullshit.
- darkhorse13 6y agoExactly what I felt after reading that. What does the intersection between NLP and financial marketing mean? I'm genuinely curious - hopefully the parent commenter will provide a link to the service/product.
- Grimm1 6y agoI mean how would you want them to phrase it? "I use NLP to solve problems in/for financial marketing(ers)" is all they said. I'm fascinated how simple uses of language like this are such a turn off for so many people but correlate pretty highly to more pay. You say bullshit, I say knows how to present themselves, a little flourish generally goes a long way. If the argument is generally people who use flowery language don't have the skills to back it up then I have experienced that before certainly, but then I offer you that if it works for people who don't have the skills then imagine how useful it must be for someone who does.
- slibhb 6y agoI have no idea if talking like that "correlates pretty highly to more pay". Maybe, maybe not. Either way, I think people should speak and write clearly for reasons that have nothing to do with money.

- Grimm1 6y agoThe thing is "writes clearly" is completely subjective what they wrote was perfectly clear to me for instance.

- darkhorse13 6y agoThe problem is that these titles/descriptions are very vague when it comes to explaining exactly what a person does, and people often view these types of vagueness to be confusing and sometimes unreliable. Other examples: Chief Heart Officer, Cloud Architect, etc.
