Assume they are 15 years old, or that they act like they are 15 years old

Yeah if this is the neighbor kid wanting to pull weeds or mow my lawn, then I like it

Nope it’s for a professional position.

A professional position where you have a paper resume?

Hotlanta

I’d print it out just to shred it

I used shredder as a metaphor. It’s a PDF.

ChiCityCoug

I would ignore it and focus on the rest of the resume

I picked the shredder but this is probably my real answer.

Pound sign and poor use of spacing?

Roll my eyes, probably show it to a colleague and chuckle, but it wouldn't be a major factor in my decision

Its redundant and unprofessional. If someone is giving you a resume, obviously

It's more commonly #OpenToWork, but it's ubiquitous. It's a LinkedIn pic border

Never heard that before. I thought it meant they were a go-getter, hard worker.

KingDave

Depends on what the rest of the resume looks like.

Your company still takes printed resumes that need to be shredded?

Shred that immediately

I use it as one data point in a long list of data points. Little weighting.

What type of position? What type of company? If it’s some type of marketing

LinkedIn has propagated this as it’s a default option on your profile pic.
