Lies we all tell on LinkedIn and the brutal honesty behind them

Ciara Knight

LinkedIn is a lot of work.

We need to call it what it really is: An easily accessible tool for nosy people to find out where their old primary school classmates are currently working.

Not a sinner alive is immune to slightly exaggerating their worth on LinkedIn. Once you input all your skills, achievements and experience, it’s quite a depressing state of affairs to see it occupy such a small amount of space. At this point, you need to fluff out the material. It’s sad, but lookit, we all do it.

Here’s an example of the lies we all tell in LinkedIn, along with the shameful truth behind them.
