I received a LinkedIn message that made me laugh it was so bad. A student in a god awful MBA, literally a cut beneath directional state schools and twice as expensive to boot, sent me a message in which they misspelled my name, misspelled the word resume and asked me about being a broker. Needless to say that connection request got ignored. Anybody else have any stories?

LinkedIn connection requests with no message
Had a networking call with a student attending a local university. After a minute of small talk, I said “thanks for reaching out. Happy to help you and answer any questions you have” then the student sighed and said “I guess you can tell me a bit about yourself.. but are you guys taking on other interns?”
Another time a student told me he didn’t care to get to know me and that he’s curious if he knows anyone hiring.
God that sounds awful, where did you say was hiring northwestern mutual or Burger King.
Lmao. I should’ve. I just got back and said this wouldn’t be a fit. No response
I hope this never happened.
Unfortunately it did
Had a student reach out on LinkedIn about a job posting from a few months ago that already expired.
Student literally responded with: "k, can you just let me know and forward me other openings as soon as they come out? thanks"
I don’t understand how people can be this transactional Lmfao
I think "socially retarded" are the words you're looking for.
main character syndrome.
Many people are just totally oblivious to the fact that there are other people in the world who exist for reasons other than helping them.
