Linkedin

From creating a profile on LinkedIn can pass the possibility or not of finding the job of your dreams. Antonello Maraglino, professor of digital communication and social media at the University of International Studies in Rome and expert on LinkedIn, reveals to the Adnkronos what are the secrets to significantly increase the chances of hitting the mark. First of all, our profile “must speak to the right interlocutor”, says Maraglino. And by ‘right’ we mean “our ideal employer rather than the customer we would like to reach”. And “once our target has been identified”, we can direct the sharing of all the contents we publish on the social network to that goal. All this obviously is not enough. “We must be proactive – warns the expert – otherwise even with the most beautiful profile in the world no one will ever contact us. As in real life – explains the professor – we must use LinkedIn to create contacts”.

The function of crypto wallets has changed significantly over the last few years. They initially secured token holdings or served as art galleries with nonfungible tokens (NFTs). Today, they’ve become like bank accounts for many, and soon, they will offer even more functionality by enabling digital curriculum vitae (CVs).In a May 2022 paper, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and others introduced the concept of “Soulbound tokens” (SBTs). Buterin and his co-authors argued that credentials on a blockchain offer many advantages to establishing provenance and reputation.Nonfungible tokens will serve as essential building blocksRelated: Facebook and Twitter will soon be obsolete thanks to blockchain technologySBTs are like PoAPs, but they are non-transferable and, therefore, bound to a wallet. That’s because people should not be able to buy credentials that do not represent their own accomplishments. Thus, those tokens should not have a direct monetary value. Binance announced in September that it would introduce the Binance Account Bound (BAB) token as proof of identity for Binance users.

Companies often have bizarre policies tucked away cleverly under clauses and sub-clauses in a contract. One of those policies is the notice period duration. The notice period duration has been the topic of countless heated debates since time immemorial. Recently, a LinkedIn user sparked this debate once again. Yash Thakkar took to LinkedIn and shared a post. His post read, “A company with a 90-day notice period is looking for candidates who can join immediately within a week or two.” He asked his connections to share what their notice period was. The post ignited the notice period debate once again. On one hand, companies follow a 90-day notice period rule while other companies want someone to join their team immediately, often leaving employees distraught. Meanwhile employees are not even allowed to take leaves during the notice period. The LinkedIn post received more than 39K likes, more than 1K comments, and more than 700 reshares. People shared their thoughts on the notice period duration. Some favoured the 90-day policy while others questioned the need for a long duration when often a one-month long notice period is sufficient. Here is what they had to say. What are your thoughts on longer notice…

Dear Work It Out,So I found out my employee blocked me on Instagram yet followed me on LinkedIn. I think I get it, but make me feel better about it?Blocked*Dear Blocked,Here's something I feel pretty strongly about: With very few exceptions, bosses should not follow their employees on personal social media. If you've ever heard that gifts in a professional setting should only flow down the managerial ladder, on social media, especially Instagram and Facebook, it goes the other way. If you're wondering which platforms are fair game, first stick to those used specifically for professional reasons, like LinkedIn and maybe Twitter. For other platforms, like Snap and TikTok, it's probably best to leave your employees unfollowed unless they bring it up.When you work in an industry where promoting your work on social media is a prerequisite of the job, the line between personal and professional gets pretty blurred. One minute you're posting an Instagram story about a cool project your team worked on; the next, it's a video from the concert you danced at late into the night. That's all well and good — until your manager sees that concert story from Sunday night on Monday morning when they're also noticing…

Some jurisdictions are making ADUs easier and cheaper to build, but rents on even small units remain high as the region struggles to meet its housing production goals. Some cities in north San Diego County want to make it easier for residents to build accessory dwelling units, also known as ADUs, which are providing an affordable housing option to renters in the pricy region. As Laura Place reports for The Coast News, in Encinitas, where the city approved 79 ADU permits in the first 8 months of this year, homeowners can access a set of pre-approved building plans to skip the expense of having plans drawn. The city of Carlsbad plans to launch a similar program. Cities also hope ADUs can help fulfill their state-mandated affordable housing targets. “In Del Mar, one of the county’s most expensive and affluent cities, an ADU Incentive Pilot Program offers developers and property owners a 500-square-foot floor area bonus if they agree to rent out the ADU to low-income households for at least 30 years.” However, over four years, the program has yielded only one deed-restricted ADU that has not been rented out to a low-income resident yet. “Developers say that just because ADUs…
