Who you know may get you through the door but it's what you know that will keep you in the job.
CV's have been a colossal waste of everyone's time since the get go. AI is just the latest iteration of this fruitless exercise.
I've sat in offices where CV's (paper ones) came in and went straight in the bin.
As for authenticity not all content creators want their lives exposed to the possibility of doxxing.
That's why avatars exist. 😊👍

This is for sure. I have seen it happen a fair bit, but Finland is a very small place and reputation has a wide network. The companies here end up hiring through network a lot, because everyone knows everyone. Might be able to trick one or two, but that isn't enough. It is kind of like an informal web of trust.
Yep. But the ones who are basing their content on their personal lives - like the "fitness" influencers (girls in bikinis) and the like - they are branding themselves - not an avatar. Would be an interesting (and scary) view of the world to have uncurated social media lives :D
Unfortunately many of these 'personal' life influencers end up half deranged and disillusioned with the whole so called social media thing and the unwanted real life attention it brings. Stalkers etc.
I often wonder about those van life people. Are they legit living their best lives or just putting a positive spin on basically being homeless?
In the summer we did a road trip around Europe for 2 months. The maximum drive time was 8 hours between hotels and campsites and let me honest. It was a great way to see the countryside but a hell of a strain on the body not to mention the wallet.
Travelling is not a cheap way to live motorhome or not. Toll roads, fuel and food becomes unsustainable.
