It’s not just millennial who deal with this. LinkedIn is becoming inescapable… not to mention any advocacy for a “platform” as part of a resume
- cupcake-unicorn 5y agoThat's true, I hadn't thought of LinkedIn. But my experience on there was becoming so ridiculous. Maybe it's more helpful for people who are in other industries but I was getting tons of recruiter spam etc. But yes, it sucks so much when you're expected to be tied to a platform and that's not to mention the serious privacy issues with this. As an unrelated irony a local meetup.com group focused on Inclusivity now has switched some Facebook video platform...Supposedly you don't have to have a Facebook account but I don't want to give it a try on Linux and all the privacy issues are there :/
- orzig 5y agoThere’s always the option of creating an account, giving it an impossible-to-remember password, putting that on your ToDo list with a monthly cadence, and getting 80% of the value with ~2% of the work/stress/distraction. LinkedIn especially is easy to fire up IFF you you have a specific company to research.
