Why do I use LinkedIn?

There are many reasons why I use LinkedIn. Other than me getting a job, which is obviously the first reason.

Other than that I think LinkedIn posts are really informative and uplifting. You come to know about the good happening around you. There was this poll once on LinkedIn which said which social platform do you go to, to get positive news? Most of the people said LinkedIn (including me). Also maybe because it was asked to people on LinkedIn so maybe that’s true for them, your instagram folks are not seen here (much).

Also people raise awareness about certain issues and share personal experiences to make a point. And most of the people support them! That is something I really admire.

That said, I haven’t really started posting anything frequently on LinkedIn yet, (not even the links to these blog posts) but I do like to be on the platform.

I remember I was very reluctant to join LinkedIn. I thought maybe it’s all about work and not so much fun. It is true though. But I like it. My passion brought me here. I can connect with so many people from positive psychology background and talk to them. Get to know eachother, talk about Positive Psychology. And also attend the webinars hosted by them.

Also I feel motivated and fired up to make new connections and seek out new opportunities after being on LinkedIn.

So if you are joining LinkedIn for the first time, welcome! Don’t forget to connect with me on LinkedIn, here is my id –

Just kidding!

Its a great platform and I hope you enjoy it there as well and I hope it proves beneficial for you.

P.S – I got my first job through LinkedIn! 🙂 Just saying.

P.P.S – After writing this I realised how muchhh I use LinkedIn. “Is LinkedIn the new Instagram for me?”

    Its a multipurpose platform. Not just for searching jobs. For the freshers its for job hunt way for the professional its a big ocean. You can find everything that you can choose and opt. There are many fake ids too and spams. So choose the one you are finding it authentic and useful. Enjoy the bigger horizons of knowledge. Cheers.

        Sensitivity to All of the Environment; Both

        Condition, Just About Everything

        in My Life Overwhelmed

        Me, Until 53 Years-Old as When

        i was in my 40’s, i Still Had Difficulty

        Coming Up With Just One Page of Anything

        Other than Technical Lists Working For the Government;

        Additionally, Part of that Condition was Being Very Uncomfortable

        In my Body And Moving Through All Environments too Physically

        As Such too; It All Started With One Word for the Poetry And One

        Step for the Public Dancing That has come now to the 9.3 MiLLioN

        Words And 14,906 Miles of Public Dance Tonight; yes More than Half

        The Same Last 93 Months Ongoing; The Purpose

        of this Is Not A Target Audience; it is the

        All ‘Autotelic Meditation’ That

        Writing in Flow And

        Dancing in

        Flow Brings;

        Prana By Indian

        Metaphor Or Tao

        Or Satori or Chi or Samadhi

        Basically Autotelic Flow Per Secular

        Mind’s Potential Effortless in Ease; Yet Increasing

        Complexity Tween Anxiety And Apathy Now; Same applies
        to the Martial Arts i Do As i Spend my Life in Bliss this way;

        The Journey, All Paths Are Eternal Now Heaven; This Reality

        Within i experience Doing it, These Words Are Only Fumes

        And This Is Not A Rare Experience as it is Reported All

        Through History for those Who Do Achieve Autotelic

        Flow; Not So Common To Stay in this State of Being

        Almost Every Moment of the Day; Yet It’s True, Science

        Shows It is Regenerative And a Real Fountain of Youth;

        Increasing Human Creativity by Empirical Measure of

        5 Fold With Just 30 Minutes of Meditative Flow, 3 Times A Week….

        Yet Imagine What A Person Could Do Staying In A State of ‘Prana’

        Always Now; By The Day i Pass away, the Results will All be in Hehe…:)

    To be honest I don’t like LinkedIn. It never served the purpose for me i.e. finding job opportunities and I think Naukri is way better than LinkedIn in this case. Another reason is the hypocrisy and marketing done by company’s high level people. There is too much positivity and kindness flowing in there and sometimes I find it hard to believe because reality I have experienced is far from the picture on LinkedIn.

      Okayy… Actually it’s difficult for me to connect with people from my field on other platforms.. that’s the reason maybe I enjoy it so much. I also get reminders for useful webinars n all.. yes there is too much positivity sometimes… But I feel it’s like necessary.. at least somewhere there is positivity in business world.. there are too many negative news everywhere so… That’s why. But thank you for sharing your perspective Pratik! Its really good to hear from you after a long time. 🙂
