Marc,
Great information regarding LinkedIn profiles. Not only do you need a thorough bio, but I feel it needs to catch the readers attention and keep them engaged.
Thank you Troy. I agree that bios must keep the reader engaged. A bio should do more than tell people what you do. A bio should tell people your story in a way that makes the bio a must-read.
In my opinion the headline of your LinkedIn profile is the most important thing everybody should focus on. It’s the key place to highlight your career targets.
At a minimum, yours should contain your target title(s), industry(ies), #1 geographic preference, and skill keywords. Since you only have 120 characters to work with, you will have to keep your headline brief.
So you can attract more attention from recruiters and open the door to more career possibilities.
Marc, this article hits on some very sound and reasonable aspects of LinkedIn networking, our profiles on this social media platform indeed says a lot about who and what we represent as an online marketing entreprenuer…
