Let's say you have a 5-year-gap in your resume, because you were busy getting high and living a life of crime, deviance and degeneracy...is it okay to fill in the gaps in your resume with work experience gained from PIMPING, SELLING DRUGS, and/or producing SICK-ASS MUSIC???I mean...it's not like I have sat on my ass doing NOTHING for 5 years! Surely, I have gained some valuable experience and transferable skills from 'THE PIMP GAME' and being a key/prominent figure in the BARRIE CRACK SCENE (which consists of at least 100 people who mostly go by Nick-Names, like 'GHOST' or 'FOX')...
Just look at The Eco's LinkedIn Page...

certainly, and 'BIG BOY' would probably give Eco a good reference as well, but I think he's in-jail for stabbing somebody at the moment...

I think realistically your two options for getting something resembling a career going are:
1.) The government helps you find some kind of job
2.) You go to rehab, get clean, start working at a low end fast food or retail job to earn enough to pay rent somewhere shitty, then go get a community college associate's degree in Business at night, or whatever the Canadian equivalent is, and use the school's resources to try to break into the Music industry somehow. There are (conservatively) 5,000 people who rap better than you in a 5 mile radius. That's not going to be your ticket into the industry. You've gotta have another angle.

Looking at this LinkedIn profile are you actually thinking that someone will accept these references or are you larping similar to Ahuvia Harel? Either way, I can tell autism is involved

-Government would NEVER hire a CROOK like Eco
-FUCK REHAB! I intend to have my cake and eat it too! I wanna be able to GET HIGH ON-THE-JOB!
-I don't need more EDUCATION, I already have 2 DEGREES from a Prestigious University with specialized courses taken in DATA-MINING AND MANIPULATION, GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS MANAGEMENT, and several s specialized subject areas...I am TOO SMART for my own good and am OVER-EDUCATED
-CALLING BULLSHIT ON YOUR CLAIM THAT THERE ARE HOARDS OF RAPPERS WHO ARE BETTER THAN ME...NOBODY CAN SPIT OR FLOW LIKE THE ECO, EXCEPT PERHAPS EMINEM, BUSTA RHYMES, AND A FEW OTHER BIG NAMES...like, if we are talking about SPEED-OF-FLOW or WHO IS THE FASTEST RAPPER, Eco would be more than happy to SEE HOW MANY WORDS-PER-MINUTE he can spit...I know I'd BE COMING IN THE TOP 8...
-Plus, MY PUBLICITY STUNTS AND ABSURDLY-OUTLANDISH ANTICS will be enough to ensure that I WILL MAKE IT IN THE RAP GAME!
I appreciate the criticism and suggestions, however....

Eco is as AUTISTIC as they come, Kook...I wouldn't actually list my drug buddies as work references, but I WOULD put pimping, drug-dealing, and music-mastering experience on my resume....
...and for the LAST TIME, Eco Does not fucking LARP...From what I've heard about LARP'ing, it is GAY AS ALL HELL!

By marking I meant that you made the linkedin for fun and to brag and to pretend to be looking for work.

Your LinkedIn screams mental illness and instability. You couldn't get a job scrubbing outhouse toilets with that profile. You are totally divorced from reality if you genuinely believe you are putting forth a good effort at getting a job. You need to get a handle on your life and not glamorize your present circumstances.

SPEAK FOR YOURSELF!
Many people respect PIMPS and PROSTITUTES, and recognize that the work they do is challenging, physically and mentally, and it is necessary in order for people to fulfill their sexual needs, which play an important role in everyone's life..

WELL OF COURSE I AM MENTALLY ILL AND UNSTABLE! I'M LIKE THE NEXT JEFFREY DAHMER IN-THE-MAKING!
BUDDY, I GET LinkedIn CONNECTION REQUESTS from fuckin' INDIA, CHINA, SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA, And ALL AROUND THE WORLD, AND I GET JOB OFFERS AND PROPOSALS ALL THE TIME!
THEY ARE MOSTLY RELATED TO THE MARIJUANA/CANNABIS INDUSTRY, BECAUSE THAT IS THE INDUSTRY I SELECTED ON MY PROFILE, BECAUSE I USED TO SELL AND PROMOTE MEDICAL MARIJUANA....

If you got good job offers from LinkedIn you would have taken one of them by now. You get scammers and grifters messaging you because you seem like an easy mark. You have a lot of enthusiasm and self-confidence but you have no ability to channel that energy into something productive. You need to stop being so out of control and actually do a meaningful thing in your life.

Now that is some valid, constructive criticism...I can't really argue with that...
In my defense, I do accomplish some 'meaningful' stuff in life...I USED to do a lot of ACTIVISM (especially in the areas of ANIMAL RIGHTS and ENVIRONMENTAL PRESERVATION, which are my 2 most-passionate Causes) and made significant contributions to the LIBRARY COMMUNITY, I promoted reading, learning, literacy, and all-that-jazz, I make some people laugh, I enrage others....NO matter how you slice it...you can't trivialize or down-play The Eco's Achievements...

That's good! Having passions is a good thing. It helps you figure out what you will do with your life. See if you can get in touch with any local animal rights or environmental organizations that need volunteers. You need to find somewhere to stay first but if the government/mom will give you food and a place to stay, lots of organizations need volunteer labor. You will have to be presentable though (e.g. not visibly on drugs, not saying it doing vulgar things etc.) You can also volunteer at the library as well. I did that in HS and my Aunt did that after she retired. I'm sure they can always use someone to help put books back on the shelf or haul books around or something. You can be doing slightly positive things to bolster your resume and LinkedIn profile. I guarantee you that any future bosses would be much more likely to hire you if your profile had "library helper, animal rights canvasser" rather than "pimp/drug dealer/aspiring rapper".
