- 5. Edit your profile • Edit your profile- Editing and updating your profile is quick and easy, so there’s absolutely no need for advanced technical know-how. Enter you sub- heading, area and industry underneath your name, and add a profile picture of yourself
- 7. Edit your qualifications • Edit your qualifications. Add your current and past employment as well as your education. Be sure to include descriptions of your past jobs and degrees earned––this way, people will be able to more clearly see your experiences and know what to contact you for. LinkedIn can also tailor job suggestions to send you if you've provided adequate details. Keep your details short, sweet, and informative.
- 9. Add a Summary • This is a chance to write a more in-depth paragraph to give people an idea of where you stand now in your career, what your strengths are, where you want to go and what you have to offer. Although it's a summary, it can take some time to write a good one, so don't be afraid to edit it ruthlessly until it reads well
- 10. Summary
- 11. Add Specialties. • Add Specialties. This is located directly below. It acts as an extension of the Summary section but in short form. You can list specific skills and areas of expertise. • Choose wisely––other members of LinkedIn can endorse you for these specialties, so avoid choosing something people don't have any clue you're capable of doing
- 13. Add Connections • Add Connections. You can have LinkedIn search through your email address book to find people you know. You can also search by a person’s name, job title or company.
