LinkedIn has made some subtle changes to help structure your profile and present it more effectively. One is LinkedIn Projects.
I’m Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter. I’m a coach who helps people be more effective in the workplace. Sometimes that involves a job search, sometimes it involves hiring, managing better, leading better, whatever it is. And I thought I would do a video showing you a feature on LinkedIn I uncovered that’s in the profile area of the platform. I just want to show it to you as a way of calling attention to something that I think is quite beneficial because, frankly, LinkedIn is favoring people who are using the function.
So, I have my own profile here, and do you see this area, “Add profile section”? That’s what you want to click first. And then from there, under accomplishments, notice they’re starting to organize a little bit differently than they had in the past. It’s as though they’re trying to bring the data dictionary more into play. And the function I want to point out here is called projects. And thus, with a click of the plus button here, you can add projects. You can also add publications, patents, courses, projects, honors and awards, test scores, languages that you know, organizations of affiliation. I haven’t looked at this additional information area; let’s see what might be there. But fundamentally, request a recommendation is under there as well.
So, notice, they’re trying to structure a little bit differently, and as I’ve read, it now favors people who are putting in projects there. Particularly if you’re in areas like IT, or doing special projects, or in engineering, and, you know, in some way, you’re capturing certain types of experiences that you have. My thought is, because I’m reading that the data dictionary is now taking advantage of this functionality, what you want to be doing is structuring your profile to take advantage of this. Doing this, as I said, the system is going to advantage people who are doing this.
So, use it well, take advantage of it, and I hope you find this helpful. And if you do, I’m Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter.
