While researching some stats about the reality of job-hunting, I kept seeing the same tip for ‘maximising your chance at getting hired’.

That tip, as the title suggests, is about having a profile on the Social Media platform known as LinkedIn.

“Ew, gross, LinkedIn is hideous platform that only 40+ year olds use” or “Ugh, I don’t want to use that website where everyone is brown-nosing their bosses” are typical reaction from many millennials and zoomers, but is that really true?

Spoilers: It doesn’t have to be true. But I won’t spoil more, so come along to find out *why* it’s untrue.
