#TIL that #LinkedIn is explicitly intended for professional networking in general, not primarily for finding a job or an employee. This helps me understand why I, as a #Humanities scholar, mostly find the the site useless. I don't need to network with middle management at squeegee factories and business consultancy firms. Their tone of false enthusiasm for pointless activities is deeply depressing. I'm only interested in the rare job ads of relevance to myself.
