If you think about it, it is very similar to Facebook, where the majority of things people post are how happy they are and how successful they are; or the odd ranter. However LinkedIn does not have ranters.

Perhaps its just my network or industry, but I've considered creating a parody account just to mock the absurdity of what people post.

Of course my parody account would have

- a background photo of me on a stage with a headset and

- a professionally polished profile photo with my arms crossed.

smh

which is weird when you think about it. Only showing succesfull and how happy you are is not a realistic view of life, and hiring candicates who are engaged in this behaviour should be a major red flag?
