******* LinkedIn and endorsements!

[MyUserName]

I am a C++ programmer. Essentially it is all I have done, in terms of languages, for about 15 years. I have also done some personal projects in C#. No one else has ever really seen or used these programs.

Currently, I have more endorsements for C# than for C++.

How can someone who you've never even met endorse you for a skill you don't even have listed

It's the future.

I got endorsed for a skill I didn't have and then got approached by a pp and offered a gig on the back of it. Weird.

So you got endorsed for waffling?

Hang on - that is a skill you have. Maybe linbkedin knows you better than you think.

As you haven't got any they are making them up for you

quite easily, it's normally a prompt within linkedin and you can add a skill to someone's list.

I've turned off the endorsements so people can't see them on my profile.

They could have picked something useful, rather than tape-changing

Milan's got that market sewn up

I got endorsed by my just left uni daughter!

That almost made me laugh out loud in the office. Brilliant!

No skills, no friends, no career opportunities, does that mean I qualify as a recruitment agent?

Sorry but no. You still have a personality. And ethics.
