    I had to tell a job lead (not via linkdin) that I don’t frequent the site and please contact me directly. They did, it was like we never needed it. I freelanced most of my work and I never got a gig from a job website/social media platform.

      Someone I know online had a coworker that offered to fluff up my resume. First thing she asked “What’s your LinkedIn?” I don’t have one and don’t intend to have one. “Well there’s nothing I can really do if you don’t have a LinkedIn. Nobody will hire you without one.”

      I’ll work for Nobody in that case. Probably a better employer than one that is so lazy they can’t even hire without a bullshit website telling them exactly what’s already on my resume.
