A LinkedIn profile lists four job titles: content writer, HR specialist, UX designer, QA specialist. The speaker calls this "autobiography syndrome" and says recruiters want one clear path, not your whole career story. Pick one role and stick with it.
So I was on your LinkedIn profile today and was counting the number of jobs you named you could do in your headline. Content writing, human resources specialist, user experience designer, quality assurance specialist. I have lately been applying to all these different job titles just to get a job, any job. You need to pick a path. Mm-hmm. Devote yourself to that because right now what you have is autobiography syndrome. Autobiography syndrome is is where you tend to want to tell your whole career story and what makes you dynamic when companies don't actually care. I can't have 9 professions on your LinkedIn profile. I need to see one. Not any one thing that I have done or would love to do has been able to pay all of my bills.
