FYI: Identity Verification Is Now a Thing on LinkedIn
Wouldn't it be crazy if recruiters knew, it was really you behind a LinkedIn profile? Let's be honest some LinkedIn accounts are just a total scam, some people only have a registered account because it allows them to look up information about other people and companies on the platform but, this might change soon.

I Was a Victim of the LinkedIn Hacking Spree (August 2023)
I got my account back but first I had to work for it. Allow me to share with you what actually happened. After reading a report on how multiple people got locked out of their LinkedIn accounts, I thought to myself, “This is something I should write about.” Little did I know, one of the people I’d be writing about was actually me. Guess what? Now, I’m doing it!

Forbidden But Not an Apple Tree
No photos on Social Media, no articles in Newspapers, and no interviews on TV but, why? People in K-1 would put on a tie with their sleepers on and only the sleepers, sweat pants with work boots, and a bow tie with no shirt. Only in this place was this normal and nowhere else in the world. People didn't understand why things happened the way they did but eventually, they would find out.

When I hear "crypto" my mind goes bitcoin. It's inevitable, I really can't help it and I can only assume that you go through the same as well.

The Reason Why I cannot let Vocal Go... Just yet!
I like putting together a story exactly when I come up with the idea. If I think about it now that's exactly when I start writing because a few minutes after it longer feels the same. it's no longer relevant and I just lose interest.

How To Get Paid Udemy Courses for Free #Legit!
Have you ever used coupons? I knew what they were, how they work but I just never did give in to coupons at all. 30 % off sounds interesting 50% is half, 80% is a blessing but 100% off is no longer a purchase that’s definitely a gift.

Introducing The Medium Writers Challenge (Talk About Competition!)
The great thing about having the best of both worlds is aah ... Having the best of both worlds. :) I had just come up with this crazy idea for my next article and because ideas come and go I decided that I was going to write it down, a line or two or maybe just the title so that I can work on it later. Unfortunately I didn't get to do that I don't even remember what the whole thing was about anymore. But it doesn't matter because a post by medium took me by surprise and received my total and undivided attention.
