On not taking LinkedIn too seriously
I’ve posted before about how ridiculous LinkedIn is sometimes. The most ridiculous thing is the endorsements feature. I mean, I’m an Architect and I’ve been working in the profession since I was 16 and qualified since 2009, but somehow I still need to be endorsed for Architecture. The question is posed to others “Does Andy know about Architecture?” – of course he fucking does he’s a qualified Architect. If you can’t see from my CV that I can do Architecture then something has gone wrong.
So I started playing with it a little. Endorsing people for ridiculous things like, waking up, Microsoft Word, Turning a computer on, Herding cats and the like. And others similarly played with it such as Peter Guthrie who endorsed me for Laughter Yoga – ha ha ha ha hahahahahhhaaaha. Seriously search YouTube for it, it’s hilarious. Emma also endorsed me for dogs and making coffee.
What I hadn’t realised is that all these skills I’ve added, or had added for me get emailed round in a newsletter to others. So a few days ago Daisy Froud sent me this image. Hilarious. I hope everyone sees the funny side. You can’t take these things too seriously now!
