the problem with my last job being "microfiche scanner" is that linkedin has no idea what the fuck that means it keeps suggesting jobs in grocery stores

They do require frequent scanning due to how small they are, lest some get lost in the crevices.

My ex’s dad was an architect and kept getting recruiters thinking he was a CCNA when he was job hunting.

Linkedin's catalogue of Jobs that are Real is woefully inadequate... it also doesn't have tons of common games industry job titles like Narrative Designer

I do the same job right now, I just applied with the internet archive and gushed in the interview about my already having archive experience (doing VHS tapes and audio cassettes)

If it makes you feel any better, they’ve been suggesting python and java to me for about a decade now, two words that are nowhere in my experience.

LinkedIn is the cause of most recruiting scams. And they don’t care. Fake profiles are something to brag about to investors funding a dinosaur.

I'm so glad I no longer use LinkedIn - They don't have enough memory to keep up the old job lists? (amazingly stupid of them) ...

Just say microfilm

microfilm is a different kind of microform from microfiche. microfilm is on a roll like photographic film, while microfiche is a postcard-sized (usually) sheet of images.
