The organizers of this career-day panel I agreed to do want my linkedin and a headshot they can use for publicity purposes.

Am I the only one who doesn't have headshots or a linkedin account? I don't like careers enough to have cultivated either of those things.

@MLE_online What's wrong with your thumbnail here?

@VE2UWY I gave them that as an option, but this is for a communications professionals panel, so they probably were hoping for something more professional looking

@MLE_online Do one of those goofy "AI" things and turn it in to a cautionary tale ...

@MLE_online You're definitely not the only one without a Linkedin account. I refuse to set up an account with a business that at one point was spamming me insistently, without me even having ever had an account there.

@MLE_online Also, if they did not let you know about that early enough, I'd be a bit frustrated, that's the kind of thing they should state early if it's not optional.

But, of course, if they have the "everyone's on linkedin" mindset, they'll not see the issue with that.

@MLE_online Definitely don’t. I fear that by the time I leave this job I might just not have enough required online connectedness to get another.

@bytex64 @MLE_online I intentionally avoided companies that were fixated on LinkedIn when I was looking for a job. I don't give out my LinkedIn, as I never want to log in to LinkedIn (they seem to take it as permission to start spamming me again after all the effort I put into making them stop). But, nearly all the C-levels are new since I joined, and they seem very into LinkedIn. I dunno what it is about management and liking LinkedIn. Business brain worms.

@swelljoe @bytex64 I had a friend who was shocked that I don't have a linkedin profile and couldn't understand how I'm even employed without one

@MLE_online Headshots for a job that doesn't directly revolve around one's physical appearance (like modelling or acting) will always be EXTREMELY weird to me. Who started this trend?!?

MLE_online,

@Karstan I'm sure this can be traced back to the absolutely demented idea that emerged sometime around 2010 that everyone needed to be their own brand

@MLE_online

Neither headshots nor Creepy Facebook do I own. Were I asked, I’d honestly consider giving them a fake mugshot and a random link to someone’s onlyfans account.

@LabSpokane Well, you could, but that would not be very nice to the poor little students trying to put on a nice career day event for their peers.

@MLE_online same! i needed a headshot for work recently and had to dig for a selfie that i could crop into suitability.

@astrid Most of my selfies are completely unacceptable as headshots!
