People are Noticing You

I have to laugh.

I have been retired now for almost three years, and, though I have occasionally posted some of my "extreme far right views," all of which entails, these days, accusations of being a racist, and a White Supremacist (As Jagmit said the other day,), and that I am an "anti-vaxer" and a tinfoil hat "conspiracy theorist." I find it really odd that LinkedIn is informing me that recruiters have been looking at my resume.

And, I have noticed an increase in the amount of traffic in my inbox that I have been getting from LinkedIn.

"Who's looking at you?"

As if I give a fuck.

And this most recent one,

"You appeared in 4 searches this week

You were found by people from these companies."

Oh, really?

Either "these companies" are getting really desperate for new candidates, or the whole process is a crock of shit.

I mean, here is what came in today,

The people who were searching for a viable candidate, and viewed my resume, came from,

CNIB

Non-profit Organization Management

501-1,000 employees

ZEISS Group

Electrical & Electronic Manufacturing

Durham Catholic District School Board

Education Management

1,001-5,000 employees

Yeah.

I am sure that anyone who has viewed my profile could see me as working for the ZIESS Group for my vast expertise in Electrical and Electronic manufacturing,

or my glowing credentials in the field of Education Management that might be of some use to the Durham Catholic District School Board.

The one that caught my eye, (can eye say that?) was the one from the CNIB.

I think I speak for most people here in that most people know nothing more about the CNIB than it is a charity for blind people.

How could I be of use to such an organization?

Well, for one thing, I fully understand that blindness is not just declining eyesight. It is almost ubiquitous. And it has nothing to do with the cornea, or the retina, or the lense, ... it is an affliction of the brain.

But, seriously, it is not because of my, perhaps overactive, immagination that the LinkedIn search algorithm sent the CNIB to my page.

It's because,

A - recruiters are getting desperate

or

B - it ain't worth a shit.

I'll tell you what,

I'll take that job at the Durham Catholic District School Board, so long as they give me a $20,000 signing bonus, and another $50,000 when they fire me.

None of this is really funny, but it IS fucking hilarious.
