So i recently got rejected for a job and i just want to understand if this was a fair thing because seems like absolute BS to me.
So my CV has my linkedin link on it and ive gone to linkedin and shortened it as much as possible (my full name is quite long and i couldnt go with just my first name as the link was already taken). So my CV has the link in something like this, mainly due to spacing issues, it wasnt able to go out on one line.
www.linkedin. com/firstname
/lastname/-
I applied through an ex-colleague and she was very keen on my application, saying that they were actually hiring for that position at the moment. The next day i get a message from her saying that the senior partner rejected the application citing that when he clicked my linkedin link, it took him to the wrong page. He claimed that if such issues are there on my CV, he cannot proceed further me.
I tried it out for myself and basically, because ase of the link being overrun to the next line, when he clicked it, it went to
www.linkedin. com/firstname
however if you properly click the link, it goes right to my page….
This just seems like such BS to me
(ps i had to add a space in the link so that the post wouldnt get banned, in reality, the space isnt there)
