But without the right guidance from a LinkedIn professional like me, you may end up with a profile that sounds generic, misrepresents your strengths—or simply doesn’t get results. And without expert support, you also miss out on strategic insights into how to use LinkedIn more effectively. As a LinkedIn-focused social media tutor and trainer, I embrace AI tools—but I also know their limitations. When used with expert guidance, AI can become a powerful assistant. On [...]

Publicize Your Meetup Group Events Through LinkedIn

Tips For Your LinkedIn Experience Section

Are you looking for tips for your LinkedIn Experience section? I challenge you to make your LinkedIn experience section more engaging. Too often, this section is simply a rehash of your professional resume. Make it more like a resume on steroids! Consider jazzing up the section by using some emojis to replace the bullets in a bulleted list within the position descriptions. Other general tips: Highlight key points: focus on your most significant achievements and responsibilities that are relevant to your target audience. Use strong, active verbs: doing so makes your descriptions more impactful and easier to scan. Keep sentences [...]

Give Back to Your Community By Sharing Your Expertise

Do you give back to your community by sharing your expertise? This week, I had another opportunity to help GED students at a local high school learn about LinkedIn. My experience volunteering with these students is incredibly gratifying, as I love introducing LinkedIn to young people.

Yet at least I will have planted a seed with them about the value of LinkedIn. How are you sharing your expertise [...]
