I’ve always wanted to create a website. Had a domain name gifted to me for a few years and everything. But I never knew what to put on it. I was scared to put anything personal or self identifying which seems a little bit silly now, with how much personal metadata already exists out there. At least with creating my own resume/portfolio website I have a little more control over it and I can put forth a little bit of my own personality instead of the corporate personality that someone else has decided is most marketable. Another benefit is feeling less like I need to engage with the next newest social media whatever that comes out. And I get to learn something new in the process, which is basically my entire personality. I’m constantly trying to learn things, but also terrible at everything.
Having to pretend to care about another set of fake numbers requires more emotional energy than I'm willing to spend while facing a computer screen. Most of my workplaces have had slack or discord where peers can talk and I am also on multiple professional servers to have intellectual discussions or get resources that are incredibly industry and role specific, full of both strangers and known peers. I don't feel it necessary to put my face, my entire resume, 'create engaging posts', or 'engage with recruiters' on yet another social media site. It felt and still feels like just another boring social media site.
As a learning Resources Technician, I know you want to focus on strategy & spend less time dealing with ADP's outdated reporting.
This isn't even SAYING anything. 'focus on strategy'?! girl, be so fr rn. Tell me you auto generated this stupid fucking ad without telling me you autogenerated this stupid fucking ad. I am tired. I am annoyed. Why target me so poorly.
This was in my messages. In fact, 90% of my messages are ads just like this. Often just as poorly targeted. I've never worked HR, and linkedin knows this, it's whole point is that they have my ENTIRE work history. What are they DOING over there. I have no idea what ADP is, I don't care. I almost clicked the save my spot option just for the $150 gift card, until I realized it was probably so whatever company could gobble up some more of my data. Y'all, I'm just tired.
