Seems like sort of a red flag for hiring, if a person can't even be bothered to adopt the free c.v. hosting service that everyone else use. It makes me wonder if after hiring such a person they will reveal a bunch of other out-of-the-mainstream behaviors like sending non-MIME text emails only, interquoting replies, demanding a weird laptop that works well with openbsd, or wanting to be paid in crypto.
- low_tech_love 2y agoBullshit. If they want a CV they can have my CV, as a PDF or in website form. LinkedIn not a CV, it’s a for-profit company disguised as a social network. It’s perfectly reasonable not to be interested in engaging in it. Requiring LinkedIn is a clear red flag about the employer. What’s next, they will ask me to make a TikTok video with a little dance using the company’s T-shirt? Or post some meaningless LLM-generated praise for my company every 6 months or so?
- limit499karma 2y ago> free But it is not "free" Jeff. That's the entire point - a gaming of our professional lives beyond "free c.v. hosting service". > that everyone uses I wonder how that happens. "Must use this 'free c.v. service' or Jeff and likeminded corporate drones will think you be 'odd' and 'not a cultural fit'".

- marssaxman 2y agoIt sounds like this could be an effective bidirectional filter!
- jeffbee 2y agoRight? It absolutely is! If you are strongly opposed to it, you should simply not apply to positions at companies that expect you to have a LinkedIn profile.
