The Professional Profile• Your online calling card• A quick view of your professional history
– Positions, education, groups, awards• “Business casual” content
– Full sentences, in first-or third-person– Easy to read, without a lot of bullets– More like a cover letter than a resume
• A way to “sell” yourself

Experience Guidelines• Like your resume, but not as formal• Include good, compelling descriptions,
particularly for recent jobs• Go back at least 10-15 years, depending on
circumstance• Break up “long jobs” when you can• List all work that is relevant
– Older jobs have less detail – unless they’re important for other reasons

Think About Search• Keywords are important, but don’t overdo it
– Make sure it’s easy to read• Headlines & Summaries have top priority
– All your content counts – as well as the number of connections you have and how active you are
• Search your keywords to see where you (and your competitors) appear
• Pay attention to search stats on home page
