Is it so easily done by everyone or is it just me?
I spent most of this weekend re-working my LinkedIn profile. For a while it was looking good: confident and quirky.
I’ve an empathetic style which makes communication with all sorts of people a mutual pleasure. That’s the way I see it and let the devil take anyone who disagrees with me.
Reality check with GG confirmed that anyone who isn’t me would read author of this as egotistical, probably domineering and of poor judgment to publish this on a professional profile.
A few more hours work and we have a profile that uses capital letters to try to be more scannable which no one will want to read because it DEMONSTRATES corporate HUMOURLESS language and my STRENGTHS in using powerfully BLAND claims.
I could probably do better but spending more time on this isn’t consonant with the V factor in my new invention, smarter than SMART, ’S.U.A.V.E.R.’ goals:
I’m excited to work on projects that are Strategic, User-focussed, Adaptable, add Value , are Environmentally aware, and Requirements-driven.
In the words of Stuey from Family Guy: Oh yes. Oh yes. It’s the truth. It’s the new clever. Hallelu-JAH!
