Fake False Fraudulent Fictitious Fred
LinkedIn is a social media site that focus on career and job topics; a social media on careers, jobs and other related topics.
One feature of LinkedIn web site is the ability to create a profile; you can create a screen that will list career topics in areas like:
- Your work history
- Information about yourself
- Education history
- Skills
- Publications
- The groups you belong to
(Groups are people who come together related to a particular similar interest; like occupations) - Articles – read articles about careers. You can read articles from other people and write articles yourself.
You can make your profile public where everyone can see the profile. The public profile can serve as a bulletin board where you can advertise yourself to potential employers. Ideally, a recruiter would see your profile bulletin board and contact you for potential job opportunities.
When writing your profile, you will want to give your profile a selling angle viewpoint. You want to communicate how you can help a potential organization rather then communicating how a potential organization can help you.
Example of How Not to Write a LinkedIn Profile
Below is an example how not to write a LinkedIn profile.
The profile was called “Fake False Fraudulent Fictitious Fred”
I used the profile to show students in a class I taught at the Omaha Public Library (in Omaha, Nebraska public library)
A class that focused on how to use the Internet to find job opportunities.
The class was done many years ago.
I cannot find the profile anymore; but here is the text of some of the profile
(the text I believe is a copy of the profile that was posted many years ago).
The e-mails listed as Myneedsaresupreme@yahoo.com and Createdfakeprofile@yahoo.com may no longer exist in the Yahoo e-mail system. I long since forgot the passwords for either of these two e-mails so I would no longer able to access the e-mails.
Hope that you enjoy and as always thanks for reading.

Correction
When you work on creative projects, you sometimes may find errors – particularly when you are doing the creative content yourself and do not have other people to read through the content to find errors. Looking back at this profile there was an error; the error was using the word “eliminate” when it should have been “ultimate”. Details below:
What was on the original profile LinkedIn page:
