Interesting post on LinkedIn, but I think is should have been "Why I gave up looking for a job"

This guy really has hit the nail on the head. Good article.

Work ? What an awful concept. Excuse me its time for my siesta followed by an afternoon polo match.

Will any of you be buying his book?

100 DAYS, 100 GRAND- be earning six figures as a freelancer... 100 days from today!

Good grief no! I don't like him THAT much...

(And anyway, I already know what to do...)

100 grand in 100 days. yay.

I was in Blue water about 15 years ago getting a book on sql server. Two male voices in the next ailse with VERY strong Jamaican accents.

'Dis is IT man. Dis is IT. dis is where de bread is man. what we need is a book on de logic. That's IT man, a book on de logic'

it says "A seasoned traveller, he’s explored over 60 countries by bus and backpack"
Not sounding like someone who's on a grand a day then?

There's only one thing that would make me give up looking for work, Camelot.

Silly place.

Seems on the ball to me. Promote yourself, your skills, what it is you do, not what you think you do or what you'd like to be.

I thought it was going to say "I gave up work because my house earns more than it do".

This is what really p1sses me off about LinkedIn. There is no shame in being a contractor who is good at your job.

Can't agree strongly enough. Some of us just want to do some work, not pontificate about utterly pointless tripe while riding penny farthings, sporting hipster beards and blowing bubbles from a bubble pipe. See also: any Steve Bong article on the Register..

3. Because I'm a working stiff (BoS I think) not a Thought Leader.

WHS.

2. Because recruiters suck

Sorry. They just do. Recruiters are the least professional, worst trained, most inside-the-box people anywhere in business. No arrangement outside marriage needs a closer personal relationship... yet no industry fails more consistently to provide one.
