A while back, a post on Reddit sparked a trend on social media about LinkedIn profiles.
For about a week, there were countless posts poking fun at how even the simplest tasks are sometimes exaggerated to sound like a giant leap in human history.
Here are some more (from Instagram):
None of the truly successful people in my field are active on LinkedIn. This doesn't mean that all active members who write posts full of enthusiasm are fake. However, it is hard to ignore that LinkedIn has largely evolved into a platform for self-fascination and curated self-representation rather than genuine professional exchange.

- Successfully executed a facilities optimization task improving workplace illumination and operational efficiency. ( i changed a light bulb)
- I managed the algorithm and assisted the business owner in their data analysis tasks in order to curate better experiences for clients (I pressed like on this post)
- I am extremely thrilled to announce that I have achieved a supreme biological ability to activate my pulmonological organs to successfully infiltrate combustible non metal gaseous element oxygen from a homogenous mixture of gases with making the alveoli train hard on everyday basis and producing a gaseous byproduct surprisingly beneficial for all living organisms of plant kingdom. (I am breathing)

So what's new? This has been going on for decades, long before dopey social media and computers. A mate of mine is an environmental hygienist using equipment worth 10's of thousands of pounds. He drives a lorry that sweeps the roads.
We've all eloquently described our jobs for one reason or another. I did it in the 60's to impress the birds. Not telling lies, I call it using the English language to your advantage.
