Yeah you can verify your government id, workplace, and educational institution

Edit: you don’t have to do it, but if you want to be trusted… not a bad idea

That verifies you are who you say you are, not that you’ve worked where you say you’ve worked

I’m pretty sure only a workplace can give workplace verification. Haven’t done it myself, so I’m not sure how it works with job history though

That's not entirely true. One of the Scams on Linked-In is that you create a bot account, that says it works for X company. Then you create job listings for said company, and farm the resume's that are sent to you for Personal info to sell to data brokers.

Not only is it fucked, but the legit Company cannot remove those listings, and Linked-Ins support is garbage in helping in any way.

This video cover's it pretty decently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DG102Dh2k9k
