Get LinkedIn – Not Left Out!
Your LinkedIn Profile is not a duplication of your résumé! It’s strategic writing that tells your career story, summarizes your professional background, and adds a bit of personality because it is written in first person and in a conversational tone! Space is limited, so every character counts!
Follow this checklist to see if your LinkedIn Profile is up-to-date:
- Does the headline / tagline make a great first impression?
- Are the photo and background professional?
- The Creative Advantage can design a background that suits your industry – just ask!
- Does the summary capture the reader’s attention quickly? Is it interesting?
- Does your experience highlight your accomplishments?
- Are bullets used to separate chunky paragraphs?
- Are professional keywords sprinkled in?
- Do you have recommendations?
- Are relevant honors, awards, languages, courses, patents, or publications mentioned?
- Are your skills contact information in the Summary section?
- Is it written in first person?
- Last but not least – are there any spelling or grammatical errors?
