On Linkedin we are looking for work, not a date!

Trying on social media is almost never a good idea, yet we women have to deal with at least one virtual suitor a day.
C "it must be said that in the" digital age, the love stories born on social networks are many but these, alas, represent real exceptions in a sadly different reality.

From the suitors (usually much older than us) who, for years, write to us on Facebook without getting a response, to the great casanova who, not knowing how to bother us anymore, have started to try even on Linkedin.

Imagine the scene: you have been desperate for a job for weeks, perhaps close to the expiration of your current employment contract. You've applied for hundreds of job positions and only responded to the ads you were least interested in.
Suddenly a notification tells you that you have received a message on Linkedin from Mr. So-and-so.
Full of hope, run to open the message: is he a recruiter? A head hunter? A young entrepreneur who has read your application and is interested in your skills?

No.
He is a little man with no job profile information, writing to you "Hi, beautiful, are you from Milan too?".
Immediate and burning disappointment.

If under normal conditions, perhaps on another social network, we would have ignored the message of this refined seducer, on Linkedin certain messages make us really angry.
Because?
Despite being a social network, Linkedin was born with a specific function: to create your own network of professional contacts and to look for the right job in a more targeted manner.
It is "a bit" like the difference between a dinner at a friend's house and a business lunch with potential customers.
Share your private life with your friends. At a business lunch you talk about work, precisely.
This is why this limit on Linkedin must be strictly respected.

We are there to look for a job, not for someone to ask us out.

Does this mean that on all the other social networks you can try without brakes?

No, absolutely no. Definitely no.
The fact that a girl is on social networks does not necessarily imply a request for attention. Least of all from someone he doesn't know and who usually copies and pastes the same embarrassing message to all the women that appear on his bulletin board.
We are on social media because he goes there, to share what we want with the people we choose.

This limit must always be respected. More than ever on social networks that have very specific purposes such as Linkedin or Depop, an "application that allows people to sell (but also to buy) quickly, everything that is in good condition but that they want to remove from the closet, perhaps to earn some extra cash.
It goes without saying that it is populated by many underage girls who are regularly harassed by older men, who knowing that the girls are there to sell their things, feel entitled to offer them money in exchange for erotic photos and videos.
An Instagram page with the name "Depopdrama" aka Depop dramas, even posted all the shameful requests that users receive on a daily basis.

Are you looking for an appointment? Here's where to find it!

As someone already knows, there are many apps (among the most famous, Tinder and Meetic) created especially for lonely hearts, where those who sign up do so aware of receiving invitations to go out, which means that on the dating apps, both the parties are interested in an appointment.
But here, too, one point needs to be emphasized: women on dating apps don't go out with just anyone. So if you're intent on finding the right person on one of these apps, be respectful. Even people who tell you no.
