LinkedIn Profile and CV ©
By
Michael Casey
We’ve
all been on Facebook and LinkedIn, we get to know people and make
“friends”. On LinkedIn it’s more about connections and maybe business
connections. So we have to rely on the Profile, my LinkedIn profile
tells my story, as I am a writer. But how accurate are these Profiles?
I am a born leader.
Means he was the firstborn boy in a family of 11 girls.
I created the supply chain structure.
Means he decided to use a clipboard and notepad instead of just his memory.
I optimised the sales among target audiences.
He chatted up all the girls, he was kind to seniors and went to church.
I was inventive and creative in gaining new sales.
Means he designed a flyer and went street to street delivering them.
I was never afraid of going the extra mile for the business.
Means there was a street gang chasing him after he was at the bank
I am great at communicating the business message.
He just would not shut up, so the boss got him to tidy the fruit outside the ma and pa store.
I always try and improve myself.
Means he has no friends so he reads a lot.
I created the new scheme to optimise the business cash flow.
Means he took the store’s cash and put the money on a horse.
I am now looking for new opportunities to excel
Means he got fired, cops not called as the owner married to his sister
I created a great new idea for centralising purchasing delivery.
Means he was a guard for the money delivery company, crash helmet and visor.
I created my own start-up company
Means he stole the money from the cash delivery company and started his own company.
I am now on a learning sabbatical before resuming my career
Means he is in jail, working in the library.
So
when you read those LinkedIn profiles or reading a CV or resume think
what do they really mean. Check the photos out too, the reality can be
far different. Just like actors, photos can be 10 or 20 years old, and
they are. Dig deeper.
Me,
I google and check people out, as far as you can on Google. Google me
(michaelgcasey) and my sites and think for yourself. I am on a
sabbatical myself, no I’m not in a library, thought we have plenty of
books in the house, no it’s called arthritis, which comes and goes and
makes me scream sometimes. But at least I can sit here and make some of
you laugh, as I Google everybody.
Since I wrote this I’ve had the joys of an unplanned quadruple heart bypass.

I
have written 1300+ such pieces, perfect for radio, so get in touch.
That’s over 1,231,000 words after 30 years of writing and 20 years of
Radio Listening BEFORE I started to write. SO 50 YEARS IN TOTAL.
Yes I started as a child, though I still am a child at heart.
