They look at it and form a bias against you. Think about it. All you're doing is making it easier and giving employers reasons to not hire you.
You're better looking then the hiring manager? Not hired. You're a republican? Not hired. You're a single mother? Not hired. Left a comment on a post making employers look unfavorably? Not hired. You're overweight? Not hired. You're older? Not hired.
Those aren't things they need to see or know about. They say nothing about you as a job candidate and your skills and abilities to do the job that they're hiring for.
This is why I'm against linkedin. You shouldn't have to show all of that fucking information about yourself it's private and irrelevant.
The only thing that matters is the skills and experience on your resume. Because that's what they need for the role right? All the other information about you is not necessary information that will determine if you can do the job or not.
We've been using applications and resumes to gain employment for years and years. that's how people have been getting jobs over the decades. There's no reason for an online portfolio that tells everything about you in order to get a job.
Don't hand over ALL that information about yourself to them. It's irrelevant.
All they need is the information that is on your resume that is absolutely it.
Linkiden and indeed (with the fucking quizzes) is making it easier and easier for employers to not do any of the leg work to find the right candidate. Or even pay attention to ppls resumes.
And vet for the right person for the job. Instead they are becoming nit picky and basing employment off of frivolous reasons and personality questioners that are not a real evaluation of how you will perform in your role, or the work environment.
I've never encountered them at least not that I know of. Honestly the constant singling out of instances, and ganging up on them, bitching to the admins to defederate when all you have to do is use the block button. Just makes me be on their side.
And from what I understand, they are NOT on my side of politics either. If you REALLY want to know how they are, then make an account on their instance and interact with them. Experience it for yourself.
I'm not saying this to attack you, because you are being genuinely curious. But I'm sick and tired of the hate of other instances. It shows that lemmy is a failing attempt at a reddit alternative.
Well you got this, and congrats on standing up for yourself by getting out of that shit whole environment. It's not normal and not something you should accept.
Apply only to jobs you are qualified for that meet your expectations. Expectations? They pay adequately, the hours are decent, it's not to far from where you live, and their job requirements aren't insane.
Insane job requirements? Toxic employers say this on their job posting;
"Must be able to work under consistent pressure in a stressful environment while handling multiple tasks at once. Must be able to work a flexible schedule with little notice including nights, weekends and holidays. Must be on call. Must be able to complete other duties as assigned not directly relating to X role. Must be able to take direction. Must be obsessed with customer satisfaction. Customer service, customer service, customer service. (Employers obsessed with customer service care more about the customer then they do about you. So they'll treat you like shit and let customers treat you like shit. You basically don't matter)
Any misspellings and their job posting, requiring a cover letter, and requiring quizzes questionnaires and personality assessments. Employers seriously looking to hire the right candidate don't waste their time on bullshit like that. If you're qualified they will schedule you for an in-person interview within a drop of a hat.
Look at Google reviews glassdoor and indeed and get rid of your LinkedIn profile (unless you're in tech) LinkedIn is used to SCREEN YOU OUT.
Employers don't need to see your connections, a picture of what you look like, and your inspirational statement. all they need is your resume and if they feel that you're qualified they can schedule you for an interview that's all they need to know is the information that's on your damn resume.
Realize you're worth and have some standards. Don't let employers dick you around. Because they will and once you show them that you respect yourself and your time it's easier to weed through the bullshiters and you'll find and actually good healthy employer.
I think it depends on the relationship between the bride the groom and the people proposing. If they're in some unspoken competition then yeah it's disrespectful and trying to steal the spotlight otherwise if they're really close and like family they would be happy for them you know what I'm saying
Interesting. Yea I want to check them out too
