A LinkedIn user has drawn backlash after publicly criticising a job seeker who reached out shortly after connecting with him on the platform.
In his post, the user cautioned others against asking for a job immediately after connecting online.
He said people should not reach out within minutes just because the new contact happens to live in their “dream country,” work at their “dream organisation,” or look like their “future dream boss”.
He also posted screenshots of what appeared to be a private message and ended the post with a remark suggesting he “owed a public apology” to the person for “wasting his time”.
Unfortunately, what was probably intended to be a learning moment did not go down well with other users on the platform.
