Today I received a message on #LinkedIn from "Cathy Holmes / Human Resources Manager at Okta":
"I find the areas of expertise you describe in your profile very helpful for my upcoming project. If you don't mind, please leave your phone number and my boss will contact you later. Thank you"
This individual is not a Human Resources Manager or anything else at Okta. This is a scam.
The profile was created a month ago. Why hasn't LinkedIn suspended it yet?
I reported it, of course.

I created a ticket to #LinkedIn and they contacted me. I was flagged for sending too many connection requests before getting my account verified. They have lifted the restrictions that were applied to my account, and everything is all good now.

I created a #LinkedIn account yesterday. Added work experience, education, verified my account using a government issued ID and the work email address. Still can’t send Connect requests to people (ok, I can send, but they don’t get it). Also, people can’t find me via search… Great tool!

Mashable: LinkedIn and Adobe announce partnership to help creators protect their work against AI. “Adobe and LinkedIn are knocking out two birds with one stone, combining their identity verification and content validation tools into one shared system under a new ‘Verified on LinkedIn’ program.”

The Verge: LinkedIn will let your verified identity show up on other platforms. “LinkedIn is expanding its free verification system to the wider web, allowing external sites and platforms to integrate LinkedIn verification rather than building their own tool. Adobe is among the first companies to sign up.”

Me contactan a través del infierno de #LinkedIn un año después para ver si ahora estaría dispuesto a empeorar mis condiciones laborales, ¿pero en manos de quién estamos dejando el tema de contratar personas?

How to delete all content from LinkedIn

As I’ve written earlier, I’m going more and more away from LinkedIn (like here and here). During my #unplugTrump activity, I decided that I want to go a step further and remove all my content (posts, answers, likes) from LinkedIn. On Mastodon, I have auto-delete activated already for various reasons. Now I wanted to clean up LinkedIn, too!

Me: Just finishing up my #MastersDegree in Information Technology in about a week.

Also me: Gets the following message from hellsite #LinkedIn about Application Developer roles. "26% drop in the United States job market in the past week".

Gee, I wonder what could have caused the economy to suddenly sink like a rock in just a couple months? I guess we may never know. 🤷‍♂️

Fortunately, I like the job I have right now, and I look forward to expanding my new talents there.
