There’s one thing I’ve always found really hard to do: set up a LinkedIn profile. I still remember the first time I tried, I thought it would be easy. Just write my bio, a few lines about myself, add a photo… how hard could it be? Oh lord, I was wrong.
It wasn’t just the “perfect wording” panic or picking a photo that looked professional but not stiff. It was thinking about how people want to represent themselves here, the version of themselves that seems like a mix of their working self, their office persona, and, somehow, a humblebrag in one.
That got me thinking… what does your LinkedIn actually say about you, and more importantly, what does it reveal about the side of you that maybe isn’t so “perfect” at work? Take this quiz, build your ultimate fake LinkedIn, and we’ll tell you the toxic workplace trait that’s hiding behind all those buzzwords, headshots, and recommendations.
