I joined LinkedIn when I lost my job and the networking aspect of it helped me find my present job, so I’ll give it its credit for that. However, the way many people utilize the app can be super cringey. I had to remind myself to be intentional in everything I posted so I seemed authentic. I think when you’re genuinely just using the app as a means to network and see what’s out there, people take wind of that more (and appreciate it more) than using it to clout chase.
