Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

As a veteran now of the corporate world, I can tell you that no job offers are made through Linkedin, at least none that aren't scams and recruitments to pyramids schemes. Maybe if you're a known and relevant higher-up and people smell opportunity on you they may try to headhunt you, but for most people this is pretty remote.
Linkedin serves two purposes:
Show employers that you have a social media face and an identity you're not afraid to present to the world. This offers people a weird reassurance when they see you're conforming to the system and not going to like, steal all the office supplies the moment you're hired.
Keep in contact with coworkers and contacts you've made from your previous job before you were laid off after private equity bought your company and digested it. You HAVE to stay social and make connections at any job you have, it's the only way you actually get positions you want down the road. And even then chances are usually pretty slim.
Plenty of offers come through Linkedin if you do consulting or contract work. Most of the jobs or contracts I've had over the past decade came through there.
Don't agree with number 2 at all. The only way to advance being networking is not by any means the only way to get positions you want down the line. Plenty of places actually hire on experience, skills, and merit, rather than nepotism, recommendations, and in-groups.
