Exactly this. It's like panhandling; it doesn't matter how many other people are out there on street corners, it's still a bad look and I'm still going to wonder how you can't at least hold down a job at Burger King.

- bentt 3y agoIt's a tough question OP asked, because there are a lot of people out there really hurting over their work situation. My comment was not to indicate that people who are looking for employment are somehow lesser. It's really about the tactics for getting a job. Getting hired is about convincing someone to choose you. We all know that the reality of a person is endlessly complex, and many people who deserve jobs have a hard time getting hired. So the question was simple... does this tag on linkedin help or hurt? When you create a sense of availability it goes entirely against the feeling of scarcity. If you see an unopened loaf of bread on the sidewalk you're much less likely to take it home and make a sandwich out of it. We all know why. You wonder what's wrong with it. Don't act like that loaf of bread on the sidewalk. Act like the loaf on the shelf. Same loaf.
