LinkedIn
Profile and CV ©

We’ve all
been on Facebook and LinkedIn, we get to know people and make “friends”. On
LinkedIn it’s more about connections and maybe business connections. So we have
to rely on the Profile, my LinkedIn profile tells my story, as I am a writer.
But how accurate are these Profiles?
I am a born
leader.
Means he was
the firstborn boy in a family of 11 girls.
I created
the supply chain structure.
Means he
decided to use a clipboard and notepad instead of just his memory.
I optimised
the sales among target audiences.
He chatted
up all the girls, he was kind to seniors and went to church.
I was
inventive and creative in gaining new sales.
Means he
designed a flyer and went street to street delivering them.
I was never
afraid of going the extra mile for the business.
Means there
was a street gang chasing him after he
was at the bank
I am great
at communicating the business message.
He just
would not shut up, so the boss got him to tidy the fruit outside the ma and pa store.
I always try
and improve myself.
Means he has
no friends so he reads a lot.
I created
the new scheme to optimise the business cash flow.
Means he
took the store’s cash and put the money on a horse.
I am now
looking for new opportunities to excel
Means he got
fired, cops not called as the owner married to his sister
I created a
great new idea for centralising purchasing delivery.
Means he was
a guard for the money delivery company, crash helmet and visor.
I created my
own start-up company
Means he stole
the money from the cash delivery company and started his own company.
I am now on
a learning sabbatical before resuming my career
Means he is
in jail, working in the library.
So when you
read those LinkedIn profiles or reading a CV or resume think what do they
really mean. Check the photos out too, the reality can be far different. Just
like actors, photos can be 10 or 20 years old, and they are. Dig deeper.
Me, I google
and check people out, as far as you can on Google. Google me and my sites and think
for yourself. I am on a sabbatical myself, no I’m not in a library, thought we
have plenty of books in the house, no it’s called arthritis, which comes and
goes and makes me scream sometimes. But at least I can sit here and make some
of you laugh, as I Google everybody.
