The Last Word November/December 2023: Paul Chamberlain

I started doing these LinkedIn Learnings posts as I was becoming intrigued by the week by the breadth and depth of LinkedIn posts on what I thought was a professional/business platform. It was meant as a bit of fun but it seems to have gained some traction.

The posts are deliberately cryptic but I do have contacts on LinkedIn who DM me to ask if the comments are about them. And some people now are positively asking me to include comments about them!

I also understand that there is an avid readership outside my own connections – with people saying that they can’t wait for Friday evenings – when the posts usually land – as they set them up for the weekend!

So here is a special edition of LinkedIn Learnings for Recruiter readers:

  • A rich supply of recent pickings – definitely an up-turn in fortunes.
  • The look on the child’s face when he had to watch his parents dancing at a school event – priceless. It reminded me of an 8Os horror film. Watch out mum and dad!
  • Should we be interested in a dog’s birthday?
  • The life coach really is alive – there’s motion footage.
  • I hate camping. Sharp sticks in eyes are more comfortable.
  • Can your life be in a mess without alcohol?
  • “I know the recruitment industry inside out,” says the person who hasn’t spent a day working in it.
  • Don’t forget: one famous legal case makes you a legend.
  • Do you need a pop-up stand in your own office to remind you which company you work for?
  • All eyebrows look the same these days.
  • Dogs really do resemble their owners.
  • It appears more recruiters than the average like to spend their time in very cold water. Why?
  • Let’s be careful out there. One of these days you’ll get caught out.
