LinkedIn = Facebook (it's true)

LinkedIn = Facebook (it's true)

I've been a die-hard LinkedIn fan/user since Day 1 ... and I've come to realize it's easier to conform than to bang my head on the desk. We've reached event horizon for LinkedIn ... there's no turning back ... LinkedIn is the new Facebook. I saw a baby picture this morning; 3550 likes and 892 comments. Wow! I could only dream of that kind of traction for one of my "business-related" updates.

So, instead of being angry and sad ... I'm going to embrace the new LinkedIn. I'm going to merge my professional brand with my personal brand. Get ready for my job postings right alongside with my personal photos and favorite recipes.

With that, here is my fave chicken recipe: https://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/chicken-recipes/chicken-in-milk/#WHQ6j4AeOzxqtXJ5.97

And here is a photo of me scribing a log:


Embrace the new LinkedIn! Resistance is futile!

I think an important part of business is being able to display some of your personality. I think it's a delicate balancing act, but can be done with some tact

Too bad, LinkedIn is suppose to be a little more business class. I do not want it to become the new FB.

Good to see you have a life other than recruiting... where are you building the cabin? I built a couple of small log cabins many years ago, and loved working with the logs, fitting them, etc.... I wanted to do it as a business, but there was just no money in it at the time ;)

I had a part time sales job during highschool, I still remember what my mentor told me "don't talk about religion, politics or football". On LinkedIn, my industry related posts get around 5 likes, 20 at best. The one time I posted a picture of my niece and myself and tied it to a post about trends in the gaming industry, I got 90.

If somebody posts another math problem I am done. Btw if your current job doesn't work out I bet the onion would love to have you.
