@mookie

had a friend applying to medical school, where they wanted "accomplishments" on the application.

what he wrote:

"designed and implemented new prescription drug inventory and delivery system for a large hospital"

what he did:

put up shelves & bins in 8 broom closets and labeled the bins for the pharmacy.

this was before linkedin. he was ahead of his time.

[Gast]

@mookie

[Gast]

@mookie There is no bs like linkedin bs.

[Gast]

@mookie i put up my new profile pic on LinkedIn first because performative normality is so cringe

[Gast]

@mookie So true! So many people du bullshitting (sorry barking...)

@harld @mookie the dog pic is AI ( even "reality" )

[Gast]

@mookie I always have to "downwrite" what I did because HR-People don't even read and want me for jobs I'm not qualified to do (and don't want to, because I built my whole career in a different direction for a reason)

[Gast]

@mookie lol I keep seeing these 'Reality vs. LinkedIn' memes and am so fascinated... Where do I get more?

[Gast]

@mookie Unrealistic!
Because the dog forgot to mention that working from home is bad.

[Gast]

@mookie LinkedIn was a slop generator far before AIs came in.

[Gast]

@mookie I use the feed blocker extension for linkedin

[Gast]

@mookie I want to upload this to Linkedin!

[Gast]

@mookie I don't even have a LinkedIn anymore because that site is useless at best and actively scraping your stuff at worst.

@mookie

Cute and true, but if you're looking for a job, where do you go to (eurocentric question btw)?
Xing wanted to replace it but they only speak German.

@chasalin
The image tbh also looks quite suspiciously as AI.
