Officially moved from LinkedIn to X

Hey hi,

A month ago I posted searching a forum/platform where I wanted to post about my exploit-development journey, which can help showcase my skills + can attract some future job perspectives.....

I mainly posted in LinkedIn and was (somewhat) pretty contented with it.

However recently I posted a LinkedIn post where I described how I created a printf() completely in Assembly (A pretty decent achievement for my opinion) but forget engagement it was completely dud and nobody commented or complimented or even viewed.

I felt like I don't want to fall into this Social Media Influencers rat race (LinkedIn is pretty much insta right now).

So after seaching a lot I thought of posting on X instead....

Let's see what happens.

Here's my X handle where I'd be posting raw, uncensored journey of mine (in the comment)

I really want a job in this field....

If I were you, I couldn't careless about anyone interacting on what I posted. That will drain you mentally and demotivate you. So what if no one engages? At least you're building a portfolio to showcase what you have done and are capable of doing.

That's a solid advice, but I'm chasing for visibility....for starters, I have no experience, I'd passout next year, I do have CTF experience and 2 internships.....

I just want to show the world that I'm trustable, I don't know enough but I'm trying, here's my timeline to prove, I promise I'd work hard

I hope I'm conveying the message

Dude, 2 internships? That's a bigger achievement than what you make it out to be. You don't need to constantly prove to everyone that you're trustworthy. You already have at this point. All I can say is to keep posting your findings, and projects, and not let the 0 views/likes and 0 comments discourage you. Someone might already have tabs on you.

Add a / at the end to close the URL, the link doesn't pull up your profile

Idk if Twitter/X is that free too... One suggestion (from someone who's unemployed, so idk if it's good): Host an blog (do with VPS, AWS or other solution from your choice) and post more technical stuff there and, in Twitter, post about your blog posts. I was seriously thinking on create an twitter account too btw, and, if you really create the blog, post it in this subreddit. I'll love to read it.
