LinkedIn is an app created for employment purposes. Given its professional nature, sharing awards and honors publicly is exactly what you’re supposed to do. There's even an Awards section on everyone's profile & that's what it's there for. I would agree, however posting a picture or statement about your award as a dedicated post to your newsfeed is too much. If connections & recruiters want to see your accomplishments they'll go on your page.

Are you joking? I have a very close recruiter friend and she says tthey laugh and avoid people that create posts for themselves about an award. She said the professional way is putting it on your profile and resume and leave it at that. Not to go online and create a post for all your followers that you are "humbled by an award" you just one,. It only reeks arrogance and stupidity.
I fully agree and as a hiring manager, view this as someone who’s either egotistical or insecure, neither of which would be traits I’d be looking for. On the counter side, if the manager or senior manager for this employee was to post it, it looks less “look at me”.
I’m old enough to remember when doing this was tacky, and it was blatantly racist and sexist to exclude everyone from a role unless they were a certain skin tone and gender
Still more gratuitous self promotion on LinkedIn. Where’s your Emotional Intelligence, Situational Self Awareness and humility?
The entire meeting made me want to gag. Eve thing from general sessions, breakout sessions, and the awards.
Ya’ll self promoters forget. It’s not just recruiters or colleagues on LinkedIn. It’s patients, advocates and customers who drive Camry’s while you gloat.
No.... I'm not joking. If you would've read my post I expressed the same sentiments as you. Thanks though.
My LinkedIn feed is just full of this. It is interesting how they try to sound humble but it is such gloating. I agree...post it on your profile and let others talk about it!
We take it that you did not win P Club. Sorry that you are a loser rep. Try harder this year or bye bye.
you didn’t get a live applause so LinkedIn is a virtual cry for clap-for-me. I personally don’t care.. get yours. But ya’ll look like insensitive morons in front of customers and patients on the same platform who make 20% of your salary. Way to go!
Yay you know how to fake calls and tweek your lists. Bravo !!!!
Sorry for your lack of success but here are several tips to improve your sales performance: (1) work an honest 8 hours in the field/day, (2) enhance your product knowledge, (3) offer incremental value for the entire staff on each sales call, (4) voraciously read books on sales skills enhancement, and (5) always close - ask for the business!!!! We hope to see you in next year's P Club awards.
you don’t get it. It’s great you won. You just look like an ass in front of the customers you serve…and patients.
Totally agree. How much external validation does one need. Seems like behavior of a first-timer.
Recruiter here, so forgive my POV, but it makes our job a lotttt easier if you list your accomplishments (including PC wins) on your profile. Certain companies won't look at anyone who isn't an award winner, and if all we have to go by is your profile which doesn't include this, we may not reach out to you.
Who cares if your reach out to us! Recruiters are bottom feeders of the industry. If I want to pursue a new company, I contact the company directly!! Don't need a recruiter making money off my talents. Recruiters are nothing but dishonest pimps. Sorry for the truth.
Most of the good biotechs don’t use recruiters. They have more than enough talent knocking on their doors. When a recruiter calls I do a Borat impersonation. Drives the vultures crazy.
It's like the clueless idiots putting MBA as a title when 90% in Gilead have masters.
I see that and laugh my as off
