LinkedIn’s Post

Anyone else find LinkedIn’s auto-fill & prompts as annoying, insulting, immature, and unprofessional as I do? Here’s an actual example when I attempt to message a contact (identifying info removed): “Hi XXX, It's great connecting with you. We both worked at XXX. How have you been?” This sounds nearly identical to the lame texts my stepdaughter (not pictured) complains about receiving from the thoughtless teenaged boys (unsuccessfully) trying to court her. If I ever received a message like this from a “professional” I would immediately do what she does: delete/block/mute. But unfortunately this or a message like it is auto populated to any contact I try to message forcing me to waste my time highlighting and deleting the offending text first, or worse, when I’m in a hurry, realize halfway through a personalized message that this undressed word salad is nonsensically inserted in the middle of it!🤷♂️ LinkedIn, please, please, stop the madness. You’ve built a successful networking platform; now let us do the networking. Functional professionals worth hiring, working with, or following can write for themselves. #professionalism #literacy #networking

WHO GOES YOU? Ehnnnn! Do you know WHO YOU ARE? (I want to watch this movie again). 💯 . Everything you do stems from the clarity and answer to this question. 🥺 Who are you to be on #LinkedIn? 🥺 Who are you to apply for that job? 🥺 Who are you to share content? 🎯 Your identity must be established for you to thrive, especially in the media where there's hardly a filter to discern and more mirages. When you know your true self, you'll discern what's best for you. You'll confidently decline opportunities that don't align with your worth. You'll also gauge whether others' opinions about you hold significance. Even in the Bible, Jesus asked his disciples, "Who do you say I am?" He knew the answer but he wanted to ensure they held the right perception of him. Any misconceptions could have been promptly corrected. . I am Rita Michael, a girl who loves the media, who loves processes and success. I love happy endings. I am a Multi-niched Article writer and the Media maven. I'm here to guide you in this media landscape so you can enjoy the process and have a happy end. I am here for busy blog owners and brands with websites that lack content and need maintenance. I know who I am. . WHO ARE YOU? Take this Saturday to ponder: Discover your identity and firmly establish it. Settle for nothing less. P.S: If you struggle to define your identity or that of your brand, reach out via #DM or #email at ritamichaeletukudo@gmail.com. I might have just the right person to assist you. My network extends both on and off LinkedIn. #Connect now to be part of this growing movement. #itissocialsaturday And if you're someone who helps others find their identity, you should #connect as well, and I'll link you with those in need. Who remembers the movie I mentioned? Let's chat about it in the comments. I still recall some of the songs! 😅" #Articlewriter #mediamatters #identity #socialsaturday

Stop this Non sense!!! My last post was about unfollowing your #connections if they do not add value & few of my friends DMed me about how that post was not needed. Today morning , one of my connections liked a post and this 👇 appeared on my feed. Now imagine a 100 connections liking and commenting on nonsense or irrelevant motivational stuff. Something like how colours in holi resonate to professional qualities ( thanks to Aryansh Singh singh for ranting on this) . This will lead to your #linkedin feed being just another space for #doomscrolling with higher screen time and no clear value addition. I repeat and practice this #unfollow those who are not adding value on linkedin ( Including this post ). PS : Comment radhe radhe and share this to 10 people , if you ignore something bad will happen in the next 24 hours.

Words have the power to create lasting impressions. Whether it's a CV, a social media post, a blog, or a script, the right words can open doors, build connections, and leave a mark.

🌻WELCOME ALL OPINION🌻 What is it like to receive disagreement on your LinkedIn posts? Upsetting? Disappointing? Discouraging? To me, the disagreement that comes in the comments is food for thought. Those who are following the post and the comments on it, get to witness both sides of the argument and reach an informed decision for themselves. So while posting, always have the mindset that you agree to disagree. Welcome any comment that presents a different opinion or is coming from a different perspective. It helps broaden one’s vision and encourages everyone to look at things from different angles. #linkedinpost #disagreement #comments #opinion #perspective #angle #workingmum #educationist #freelancewriter

BANTER- the playful and friendly exchange of teasing remarks. There is often a bit of banter by my colleagues about my LinkedIn presence. I always like to try and see the positive in all situations and feedback - the banter must be friendly I assume, like the definition above. The reassurance I get from the banter is that my posts are firstly being read and it hopefully resonates with them. I am not TOP VOICE - but rather the voice….. I want to also take this opportunity to thank everyone that takes the time to read my posts, share them and proactively engage with my posts. I appreciate every comment, reaction and DM I receive. #keepposting #linkedin #makingadifference #bekindalways

Which one would you prefer? _ Abdulrasheed made my posts extraordinary. _ My extraordinary posts were made by Abdulrasheed. The former (active) or the latter (passive)? Oops! Both are correct. Depending on: _ the context (what's the intended meaning?) _ the emphasis (which phrase deserves more attention?) Can you "feel" the difference? Decide how your posts should be read. Let them engage the way you want. After all, you're the author. However, use passive voice appropriately. What do you think about this? PS: Your posts don't engage your audience. Let's talk.

If I'd to pick a single irritating question that LinkedIn connections ask, it would be "what do you do?" or "what are you up to lately?" Seriously?! There's an entire profile of a person you're texting is made accessible to you- right from their schooling to their professional journey. If not less, they're posting content related to their profession, showing their expertise in the field. They're commenting their opinion/learnings/mistakes on the posts they find relatable or could add value to. And after all this, the person has to tell you what they do??? This is the ultimate disrespect you can show them by killing their time. It also tells that you're not interested in their profession/expertise but just want to have a casual conversation. If you can't spend a portion of a second glancing through the individual's profile, don't bother to DM them. #linkedinconversations #professionaljourney #weekendlearnings #notes
