Key Takeaways
- When becoming overemployed, it’s best to hibernate or delete your LinkedIn profile to avoid any potential slip-ups or suspicions.
- Creating a dummy LinkedIn account can provide access to job postings without compromising your professional image.
- Your LinkedIn profile is not as important as your resume when it comes to job searching.
The Dilemma of LinkedIn and Overemployment
When an individual becomes overemployed and receives a second remote job offer, they may wonder what to do with their LinkedIn profile. It is recommended to delete or hibernate the LinkedIn account to avoid any potential slip-ups or suspicions from coworkers or managers.
Hibernating the LinkedIn account essentially deletes it without permanently deleting it, and it can always be reactivated later. Once hibernated, no one can see the profile, employment history, or post history. This is important because if coworkers or managers are active on LinkedIn, they may tag the individual in team building events or other posts, which could lead to questions from others at the other company.
If an individual wants to keep access to job postings on LinkedIn, they can create a dummy LinkedIn account to find those job postings. Although they won’t have the advantage of having their entire profile with connections and experience laid out, it doesn’t matter because employers will see the individual’s resume anyway.
In summary, it is best to hibernate or delete the LinkedIn account once an individual becomes overemployed to avoid any potential slip-ups or suspicions from others. A dummy LinkedIn account can be created to access job postings if necessary.
Overemployed Masterclass
Once an individual becomes overemployed, they need to take certain steps to maintain their professional image. In this section, we will discuss what to do with your LinkedIn account once you have accepted a second remote job offer.
The first step is to delete your LinkedIn account. It is recommended to “hibernate” the account, which essentially deletes it without permanently deleting it. This way, you can reactivate it if needed. Once you hibernate your account, no one will be able to see your employment history, post history, or tag you in any posts. This is important because if someone from your previous company sees your employment history, they may wonder why you are still leaving it there. Additionally, colleagues or managers from one company may tag you in team-building events or pictures, which could lead to slip-ups and suspicions from other companies.
It is best to avoid any possible suspicions and slip-ups by hibernating your LinkedIn account. Although some may argue that LinkedIn is an excellent job posting platform, you can still access job postings by creating a dummy LinkedIn account. This way, you can find job postings without having your entire profile with all your connections, experience, and education laid out. At the end of the day, what matters more is your resume, and employers will see that regardless of whether you have a LinkedIn profile or not.
To summarize, it is recommended to hibernate your LinkedIn account once you become overemployed. This will ensure that you avoid any possible slip-ups or suspicions from colleagues or managers from previous companies.
Deleting or Hibernating LinkedIn
When someone becomes overemployed and has multiple remote jobs, they might wonder what to do with their LinkedIn profile. The speaker in the video recommends deleting or hibernating LinkedIn.
Hibernating LinkedIn essentially deletes the profile without permanently deleting it. This means that the profile can be reactivated at a later time. Once a profile is hibernated, no one can see it, tag the person, or see their post history, employment history, or connections.
It is important to hibernate or delete LinkedIn because if a person leaves their past employment experience on the profile, it might raise suspicions from co-workers or managers who are active on social media platforms such as LinkedIn. They might tag the person in team building events or other posts, which could lead to someone from the other company seeing it.
If someone wants to keep using LinkedIn as a job posting platform, they can create a fake or dummy LinkedIn account just to access the job postings. Employers will see the person’s resume anyway, so the LinkedIn profile is not that important.
To summarize, hibernating or deleting LinkedIn is recommended for those who are overemployed. This will help avoid any possible suspicions or slip ups that might occur if the profile is left active.
Reasons to Hibernate LinkedIn
If you have become overemployed and have accepted a second remote job, it is recommended to delete or hibernate your LinkedIn account. Here are the reasons why:
- Avoid Suspicion: Leaving your past employment experience on your LinkedIn profile might raise suspicions among your coworkers or managers. They might wonder why you are still leaving it there and may tag you in team building events or pictures, which could lead to someone from your other company seeing it.
- Protect Privacy: If you have coworkers or managers who are active on social media platforms like LinkedIn, they might tag you in their posts or look at your post history, employment history, and other personal information. By hibernating your LinkedIn account, you can protect your privacy and avoid any possible slip-ups.
- No Benefit: Once you become overemployed, there is no benefit to having your LinkedIn account. You can always create a dummy LinkedIn account to access job postings and employers will see your resume anyway.
By hibernating your LinkedIn account, no one will be able to see your LinkedIn, and you will avoid any possible suspicions or slip-ups.
The Solution: Dummy LinkedIn Account
When an individual becomes overemployed and receives a second remote job offer, they must delete their LinkedIn account to avoid any possible suspicions or slip-ups. It is recommended to hibernate the account, which essentially deletes it without permanently deleting it. Once the account is hibernated, no one will be able to see the user’s LinkedIn profile, including their employment history, post history, or connections.
If an individual wants to keep their job postings on LinkedIn, they can create a dummy LinkedIn account, which is a fake account created solely for finding job postings. Although the user won’t have the advantage of having their entire profile with all their connections, experience, and education laid out, it doesn’t matter as employers will see their resume anyway. The most important thing is to have access to job postings.
In summary, it is best to hibernate the LinkedIn account once an individual becomes overemployed to avoid any possible suspicions or slip-ups. Creating a dummy LinkedIn account is also an option to keep access to job postings.

Once a person becomes overemployed and receives a second remote job offer, they need to take action with their LinkedIn account. It is recommended to delete or hibernate the account to avoid any possible suspicions or slip-ups. If a person wants to keep access to job postings, they can create a dummy LinkedIn account. However, it is important to note that a LinkedIn profile is not actually that important as employers will see a person’s resume anyway.
