I don't think I buy this logic. I finished an online course with a good test score, and it prompted me to post the resulting certification on LinkedIn. It took 15 seconds at the moment I was happiest about the accomplishment. If we assume I'm an engineer who looks good on paper, am I going to deliberately eschew that prompt?
Is the argument that as an engineer who looks good on paper, I'm in such heavy demand that I never have a few minutes to kill on LinkedIn, in between declining and ignoring the recruiter come-ons? That logic just doesn't make sense to me.
