Summary & Experience

6/9/2017

 
The summary and experience sections are among the most critical on your LinkedIn page, giving you a way to highlight what you do and why you're worth hiring. However, inexplicably, many professionals leave these critical fields blank.

The summary field should provide a holistic snapshot of your role as a professional. This is a good place to add keywords, like:
​
  • Key skills you have
  • Software you work with
  • Projects you have completed successfully
  • Industry achievements that set you apart from the rest of the field

This is your chance to really highlight where you have been and what you do. Add some examples of your work to this section such as: 

  • Media Images
  • Audio Files
  • Presentations
  • Slide Shows
  • Documents
Check out these examples of different types of summaries.

The experience section should read more like a traditional resume. But don't just copy and paste your resume. You should include the companies you have worked for, the job titles you have held, and the things you have done in your career. Remember, your job descriptions should include what you have accomplished versus what you did on a day-to-day basis. Clients will care more about the $1 million in sales you were able to generate than your use of Excel.
