Admit it: there's something very embarrassing about earnestly posting your career achievements on LinkedIn.
Listing out the awards you've been nominated for, the skills you can offer an employer, and all of your previous work experience in inexplicably awkward - but you know who gets a kick out of it? Ryan Reynolds.
You might not have even known that Ryan Reynolds has a LinkedIn page. After all, it's not like he needs one.

But if you haven't had the pleasure yet, I would highly recommend taking a deep dive into the Deadpool star's profile.
Naturally, he has taken the absolute p**s and it's probably the best thing you'll see on the internet today.
For starters, in his bio, Ryan very modestly describes himself as a business owner and a part-time actor.
When you make it down to the 'About' section of his profile, though, he hypes himself up a little more.

It reads: "I've been acting for three decades now, which might be described as 'a proven track record' or 'delivering consistent results' on LinkedIn.
"I'm currently on a sabbatical to spend time with family and attempt being a 9-to-5 professional."
He continues: "In recent years, I've built what The Wall Street Journal recently called 'a business empire.' Still trying to figure out what they meant by that.

"My skills include writing, re-writing, tweeting, mixing cocktails, backend engineering for software platforms and watching lower-tier Welsh football matches.
"Proficiency ranges from excellent to absolutely awful."
At this point I can't tell if he's boasting or belittling himself, but I love it.
Under 'Skills', the Free Guy actor has listed just seven proficiencies.

They are, in this order: acting, advertising, ad tech, wireless technologies, writing, voice acting, and cocktails.
That's the second mention of cocktail-making on his LinkedIn profile, so he must be pretty damn good at it.
Finally, my favourite part of this bizarre profile, is the 'Experience' segment.
His most recent job titles are all, obviously, very impressive - it's no secret that Ryan is a successful dude.

He's listed as the Co-Founder of companies and organisations like Maximum Effort, The Creative Ladder, and Group Effort Initiative, as well as the Co-Chairman of Wrexham AFC.
Plus, he's down as the Owner of Mint Mobile and Aviation American Gin, and the Chief Creative Officer of TV software company MNTN.
But once you sift past all of that you'll find Ryan, once again, describing himself as a Part-Time Actor from January 1991 to present.
And, since it's important to list *all* of your past experience on LinkedIn, Ryan has also mentioned his first ever job as a Forklift Driver for Safeway from September 1995 to January 1996.
You never know when that might come in handy!
