Don't know that any of my former co-students have linkedins, maybe I should try and organize some kind of meet-up where we can discuss what's happening with our "careers"

Probably yes my biggest issue is figuring out what I want to do - but I'm not sure how I'll figure it out apart from trying stuff out

Anyway, will probably sign up for one of those linkedin courses but keep expectations fairly low... thanks for the feedback!

A former coworker told me in a linkedin message that he was getting married. I asked him who the "lucky lady" was and he responded "D___, we met on Tinder." The autogenerated Linkedin response options were "I know" "I remember" or "I'm sorry." I really wanted to use "I'm sorry."

Thinking about actually doing LinkedIn. Thoughts? Is there any benefit to it? Is there any good reason to do it beyond looking for a job and/or hoping someone will magically reach out to offer a job?

I use it to see where someone works. Also to see who all have worked at a certain business.

if you are hiring or looking to get hired it is good to be there.

Incredible piece.

I have been noticing a bit more of this kind of personal posting and commentary for a good while.

The shit posting is gold, and ofc a manager tried to speak to another manager and get someone fired about it.
