Home News Computing (Image credit: wk1003mike / Shutterstock ) LinkedIn has officially launched new verification features aimed at protecting its users from scammers impersonating companies and hiring managers.Going forward, any company posting a job ad on LinkedIn can verify its website and work email, and the person posting the ad can have their government-issued ID card verified by CLEAR, the same company that works on security lines at airports and other venues. "When you see verifications on job posts, that means there is information that has been verified as authentic by the job poster, LinkedIn or one of our partners," LinkedIn said in a blog post.Fraudulent message warningsCompanies can use CLEAR’s services for free, but they need to share a US phone number and government ID first. Both the poster, and the company, can also be verified by Microsoft Entra, too. This service, however, is reserved only for the companies enrolled in the program. Furthermore, LinkedIn will now alert people if the message they just received could be fraudulent: "We now also alert you if messages on LinkedIn include high-risk content that could impact your security. For example, we will alert you if a message asks you to take the conversation to another

When it comes to finding jobs, LinkedIn is one of the places that can be used to look at new job postings. You can upload your resume to LinkedIn, get job recommendations, and even create job alerts. These job alerts keep you informed of any new positions that match your criteria. However, unnecessary and numerous updates can annoy anyone. So, if you are looking to disable job alert notifications on LinkedIn, this is the right page. You can either remove the job alert altogether or customize it to receive only push notifications in the app or just an email. You can even change the frequency of alerts and turn off recommended job alerts. Let’s learn how to turn off job alerts on LinkedIn. There are two ways to stop LinkedIn job alert emails and in-app notifications on your Android or iPhone. Let’s look at both. Note: The steps for both Android and iOS devices are similar. Method 1: Using Job Alerts Step 1: Open the LinkedIn app on your mobile phone. Step 2: Tap on Jobs at the bottom. Step 3: Tap on the three-dot icon at the top and select Job alerts from the menu. Step 4: Here, you

LinkedIn is a powerful tool for marketers to promote their brands, products, and services. It is an essential networking platform for B2B marketers since professionals in various business fields majorly occupy it. While few marketers effectively run video ads on LinkedIn, most are stuck with low engagements and do not know the strategies to follow.  In this blog post, you will learn how to maximize engagement with a video marketing strategy on LinkedIn. You will also learn about the LinkedIn video ad specs, which help you seamlessly post your video.  Benefits of Video Marketing on LinkedIn  LinkedIn video marketing can benefit businesses and individuals wanting to promote their brands, products, or services.

On LinkedIn, videos can be used to share industry insights, showcase products or services, or provide valuable advice or guidance to your audience. This type of content receives more comments, shares, and likes than text-based content, which can help increase engagement rates. Improved reach LinkedIn’s algorithm prioritizes video content, which means that videos are more likely to be seen by a larger audience than other types of content.

After launching its verification features last month, LinkedIn is now bringing verification to job posts, the company announced on Monday. The company will now start showing verifications related to a job post, displaying verified information about a job poster or their company. When you see verifications on job posts, that means there is information that has been verified as authentic by the job poster, LinkedIn or one of its partners. The verified information will show whether the poster is affiliated with an official company page, has verified their work email or workplace or their government ID was verified through CLEAR, which is a secure identity platform.

Unlike with Twitter and Meta, LinkedIn’s new verification measures don’t include paid subscriptions or blue checkmarks. At the time, LinkedIn said it believes verification should

Sometimes, if a job offer seems too good to be true, there’s a chance it usually is. Arguably, if there’s a position out there that pays well and offers perks you find enticing, then there’s a good chance other people do too—so why would it be freely available? Scammers, however, know that there are folks who are desperate to land themselves that dream job, and will often use employment sites like Indeed in order to lure unsuspecting job seekers into long-form cons. But a TikToker named Kayy (@thewfhgrl) states that she’s discovered rather easy ways to discern whether a job is a scam. She also adds that for the most part, even if a position seems iffy, she doesn’t even waste her time applying to it either. @thewfhgrl ‼️Scam job 👉🏼 This is how im able to quickly differentiate a fake from real job.

The price of being a people-pleaser can be steep — especially for your mental health. People-pleasers are especially prone to burnout at work, says Debbie Sorensen, a Harvard-trained clinical psychologist based in Denver. "They tend to be very kind, thoughtful people, which it makes it that much harder for them to set boundaries, not take on too much work or get emotionally invested in their jobs," says Sorensen. And being a constant yes-person is a double-edged sword: You might feel guilty telling others "no," and resentment every time you say "yes."You don't need to let go of your people-pleasing tendencies entirely to avoid burnout — past research has shown that being polite, friendly and supportive at work are all important traits that can help you be more productive and happier in your job. The difference, Sorensen explains, is that people-pleasers tend to have difficulty setting boundaries, which can be "really exhausting" and lead to "chronic stress," she warns.3 signs people-pleasing is hurting your mental health and careerIf you frequently take on more responsibility than you can comfortably manage because you're afraid of disappointing someone, your people-pleasing tendencies could be pushing you to the brink of burnout.While people-pleasing looks different for everyone at work, Sorensen

But Lakhiani completely disagrees.'Take a one- to three-minute dip into peacefulness'Contrary to what we often hear, "I tell my students, do not meditate for an hour a day," says Lakhiani. "Life is bigger than that."Instead, he recommends meditating for no more than 20 minutes, and sometimes less than five. "For most people, 15 to 20 minutes will give you just the

Illustration: Lazaro Gamio/AxiosThe U.S., Japan and U.K. have announced major chip and quantum computing investments ahead of this weekend's G-7 leaders summit in Hiroshima, Japan.Why it matters: These investments accelerate the tech decoupling between democracies and China and consolidate America's pivot to active industrial policy for the first time since World War II.What's happening: Micron said it would invest $3.6 billion in advanced memory-chip making in Japan.Chipmaker CEOs from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, Samsung, Intel and Micron met with Japanese PM Fumio Kishida to show support for Japan's fledgling semiconductor industry. That grouping would have been unthinkable until recently, given diplomatic tensions between Tokyo and Seoul.IBM and Google announced a $150 million investment in quantum computing research in the U.S. and Japan, in a deal shepherded by U.S. ambassador Rahm Emanuel.The U.K. said it would put up to $1.2 billion toward semiconductor research and design over the next decade.Between the lines: In response to China investing heavily in strategic technologies, "there'll be more and more Buy America provisions in different bills, and the U.S. government will be a bigger and bigger player in the overall supply chain," Craig Silliman, Verizon executive vice president, told Axios.Meanwhile, as leaders of the world's biggest

After two years of record-high quits, the "great resignation" could be fizzling out. In 2022, more than 50 million U.S. workers left their jobs, the highest number of quits since the government started keeping track in 2000, according to federal data. Abundant job opportunities, labor shortages and significant pay increases for workers who changed jobs all fed this historic quitting wave — now, however, these dynamics are abating, and the great resignation is looking like "a thing of the past," says Nela Richardson, the chief economist at ADP.Fewer people are quitting their jobs so far in 2023: In March, the number of quits decreased to about 3.9 million, the lowest level since May 2021, according to the Labor Department's latest Job Openings and Labor Turnover survey.As Richardson sees it, "the 'big quit' of last year could be easing into the 'big stay.'"But the great resignation, a trend that spawned a million colloquialisms and widespread panic among bosses, isn't driven entirely by economics. "The great resignation, at its core, is a people shock," Richardson explains. "All of the challenges of the pandemic led us to re-evaluate the purpose of work in our lives … but the labor market of 2021-2022 supported this self-reflection: stimulus
