Animal-derived foie gras—or the inflamed liver of a duck or goose—has not been served on restaurant menus in California for years. This week, LinkedIn HQ in Sunnyvale, CA confidently put foie gras on its menu with one caveat: this foie gras is made without any animal products by Sacramento company The Better Meat Co.    Why is foie gras illegal? Animal-derived foie gras is made by force-feeding birds until their livers become inflamed, a cruel practice that many animal-rights advocates and consumers want to see banned. In California, the fight over foie gras has been a decade-long endeavor. In 2012, California banned the production of the cruelly begotten liver and prohibited restaurants from selling or giving it away. However, the law was overturned in 2015 on the grounds that regulating food ingredients is a federal matter under the Poultry Products Inspection Act.  In 2017, judges in the state’s 9th Circuit Federal Court of Appeals voted unanimously to reinstate the ban on foie gras. However in 2020, this court allowed individual buyers in California to purchase foie gras produced outside of the state. Most recently, in May 2022, the court upheld this ruling but rejected challenges to overturn the 2012 law. Over…

The secret to standing out in your job search isn't just dazzling an interviewer or crafting the perfect follow-up email — the first step toward landing your dream job is honing your skills."Skills are the most important factor when it comes to landing a job right now," LinkedIn career expert Blair Heitmann tells CNBC Make It. "More companies are shifting from traditional measures like degrees and years of experience to skills-based hiring to ensure that they get the most qualified person in the job who can really deliver."While technical skills are the main criteria hiring managers consider while evaluating a job candidate, soft skills, such as multi-tasking and problem-solving, can also be deal-breakers: An overwhelming majority of employers ― 93% ― say soft skills play a critical role in their hiring decisions, according to ZipRecruiter.To help job-seekers determine which skills to highlight on their resume, LinkedIn has identified the top 20 skills employers are looking for right now. These skills were featured in more than three-quarters of paid jobs posted globally over the last three months on LinkedIn.Here are the top 10 skills on that list (see the full report here): Customer ServiceSalesAccountingBusiness DevelopmentMarketingLeadershipCommunicationDigital MarketingSales ManagementProblem SolvingThe skills that employers are…

A LinkedIn post by the CEO of a company advising youngsters to work 18 hours a day, at least for four to five years initially in their career, is facing backlash and being ridiculed. Shantanu Deshpande, CEO and founder of Bombay Shaving Company, posted on LinkedIn Tuesday advising people who are new in a “job to throw yourself into it”. He also suggested that work-life balance, spending time with family, rejuvenation etc is important but not that early in life. “When you are 22 and new in your job, throw yourself into it. Eat well and stay fit, but put in the 18 hour days for at least 4-5 years. I see a LOT of youngsters who watch random content all over and convince themselves that ‘work life balance, spending time with family, rejuvenation bla bla’ is important. It is, but not that early. That early, worship your work. Whatever it is. The flex you build in the first 5 years of your career carries you for the rest of it. Don’t do random rona-dhona. Take it on the chin and be relentless. You will be way better for it,” he wrote in the post. See the post below: The…

Open to Work is a recent addition to LinkedIn that allows users to broadcast their job search to their entire network. The Alternatives Are as Follows: Telling everyone on LinkedIn, even your current employer, that you’re looking for work is a good idea. It wraps your current profile image in the OpenToWork border. This choice is seen as a less active approach to hunting for work by certain recruiters. Users of LinkedIn’s Recruiter tool are the only ones who will receive the alert. Selecting “Recruiters only” will keep the alert from being seen by anyone currently employed by your organization, which is useful if you’re looking to leave your current position for another one. LinkedIn says it can’t ensure full anonymity throughout your job hunt, but it does help keep your search quiet (as many employers don’t want you actively looking for work while you’re employed). How to Enable OpentoWork Recruiters will be impressed by even the slightest indication that you are interested in new chances. Click the profile picture of yourself in the upper right corner of the LinkedIn homepage. Go to Profile and click on it. Choose the menu item Open > Job Search. Choose the occupation that…
