I suspect that since a quarter of my fellow co-workers got the pink slip a few weeks ago, tat I too will get one soon. I haven’t updated my resume in a while and would love if there was a self hosted LinkedIn alternative or something. Anyone got any idea if that’s a thing yet?
It will never be a thing. The capitalists would never allow it. Also HR professionals are like, the lowest level of teeeechnically undergrad-level educated communications majors. They’re not going to fuck with some activitypub shit. These people are barely smart enough to not drown in the rain.
As an HR professional, that’s just incredibly hurtful to read. I’m really sorry you had that experience, which is making you generalize a whole a set of people based on what they are working on. And it’s also bad to see a lot of people just jumped on the hate train and upvoted it.
This level of armchair negativity contributes nothing to the conversation.
As a worker with real skills, I stand by my judgement of you leeches.
I was not expecting to change your opinion instantly. I’m sure you have real experiences backing up your sentiments.
Still I hope you get this same feedback from other places, and realize that the world is usually not black and white, bad and good… and you’re actually welcomed to develop more sophisticated views of things and people around you.
It’s all easy and cozy to think in extremes, but it will get you nowhere as a person.
Wow, you’re deep!
And remember these are the same people handling all your personal info on the computer :)
At least mine knows how to password protect emails…and then sends me the password in a separate email. Its not a fail, but I wouldn’t call it a success either.
Technically you can use anything for job networking, it’s not necessary for it to be"designed" for networking.
A Lemmy instance about your industry/niche could be a good place to meet people in your industry, and even hire ppl or search for ppl hiring.
I’d say a fair idea is to host your own personal website with your resume, if you’re capable and/or want to learn. There are often examples you can base your portfolio on.
Plus, one could start for free; it doesn’t need to be yourusername [dot] com!
Hmm, now that makes me wonder if there’s such a thing as a FOSS web host—as open as one could be, anyway…
Codeberg pages comes to mind (for a simple personal site anyway)
