Recruiters, get drunk and visit LinkedIn. Seriously.
With over 250 million monthly active users, LinkedIn is the biggest professional-oriented online platform on a planet. Assuming, that only 0.05% of them are high-functioning alcoholics (HFA), we’re getting 125 000 well situated professionals with dripped career-awareness. Chances are, that they might have visited LinkedIn not being sober. I also did that. Many times.

Mainly, cause I was getting messages from HR people at strangest hours possible: during weekend family gatherings, bedtimes or even in the middle of the night. And I must admit, that was the most interesting experience I ever had. While alcohol was swirling in my veins, the perception of messages was completely different. Suddenly, I started to realize, how important communication is.
While being influenced by the buzz, you’re much more opened: articulating loosely, joking and making silly typos. That’s what I call “being a human”. And while you might think, that this is not how professional conversations are suppose to be conducted, remind yourself how often you wish you could just type what you want to say without any boundries?
