That's one potential explanation.

But another explanation is along the lines of SEO keyword stuffing.

We all are aware that jobs tend to use dumb keyword filters to whittle down the numbers of applicants.

This is why everybody lists every dumb technology and job title on their resume just to bypass these filters.

Is anybody really searching for those keywords though? (E.g. “public speaker”… I spent just enough time in academia to be ahead of of 95% of those chumps because if I have 15 minutes to speak I shut my trap at 15 minutes and let the next speaker speak.)

I deleted my LinkedIn account because it was bringing me more bullshit artists, salespeople who couldn’t sel and people would set up meetings with domain experts and ignore what they say than I could deal with.
