24 Times People Completely Failed At LinkedIn

    Let's hope they've all learned a lesson from this.

    1. A user realizing what the job search is actually like.

    2. Users debuting new facial hairdos that say everything but "hire me."

    3. Other users list every experience they've ever had, including those from their virtual childhood.

    4. Bonus features that show you how popular you are.

    5. Users who take (f)unemployment too seriously.

    6. Advertisers forgetting that the internet is one big troll.

    7. Users listing what they do in their free time as "experience."

    8. People forgetting that not every skill is meant to be shared.

    9. When fake accounts decide to stalk your real account and give you hope.

    10. Some users using LinkedIn as a substitute for Tinder.

    11. Getting endorsements for your more private skills.

    12. People who are too truthful about their past work experience.

    13. People who understand that LinkedIn is an open community, available for all.

    14. LinkedIn users reminding you that some roads are best not taken.

    15. Reading about a user's personal issues that are best left at the doctor's office.

    16. LinkedIn becoming the equivalent of Yahoo! Answers for people.

    17. Wondering why users are reading and sharing these posts.

    *opens LinkedIn, sees headlines recommended for me, throws laptop out window*

    18. Seeing what people list as professional experience and remembering things can be worse in life.

    19. LinkedIn not screening for potential skills that are problematic.

    20. Browsing the news from other users and it suddenly becomes NSFW.

    21. Realizing that crazy comments can happen anywhere on the internet.

    22. Knowing that unemployment is never anything to congratulate someone for.

    23. Finding out what people do for a living and being grateful for what you have.

    24. Getting constant reminders from other users that you should be back in undergrad.

    But, you can always count on LinkedIn keeping it real and putting you in your place.

    Happy job hunting!
