Sharing Posts of a Personal Nature on LinkedIn

Sometimes clients ask me about whether sharing posts of a personal nature on LinkedIn is appropriate. In general, I find it perfectly acceptable to share personal posts on LinkedIn. In fact, some of my personal types of posts have generated more views and comments than any of my business-oriented posts. When that happens, I've featured those posts on my LinkedIn profile. Some Ideas for Sharing Personal Posts on LinkedIn Include a tip or other type of message in your post. Whenever possible, I make a point of including tips in my personal posts. For example, in a recent LinkedIn [...]

Catch People’s Attention with Your LinkedIn Profile Headline

Do you catch people’s attention with your LinkedIn profile headline? As you craft your profile headline, brainstorm ways to catch people’s attention. Use words and phrases that will intrigue people and cause them to want to know more about you.   My Profile Headline I’ve changed my profile headline many times over the years that I’ve been on LinkedIn. Currently, my headline is “LinkedIn Trainer | LinkedIn Presenter | Baby Boomer Specialist | Business Owners | Job Seekers | Making Social Media Simple, Easy & Fun.” The two parts of this headline that are most attention-getting are “Baby Boomer Specialist” [...]

Using LinkedIn to Grow Your Volunteer Membership Organization

Have you thought about using LinkedIn to grow your volunteer membership organization? Recently, I was honored to share a presentation on this topic for members of the Volunteer Voyageurs Passport Rotary Club. Members of this club live in southern Alabama and attend meetings virtually through Zoom. They really appreciated getting these tips and were excited to start applying them. Rotary created passport clubs for people who want to be part of Rotary, yet are unable to attend in-person meetings. In case you’re not familiar with Rotary, here’s a description of it from Wikipedia: “Rotary International is an international service organization which brings together [...]

Changes to Your LinkedIn Profile

Have you noticed the changes to your LinkedIn profile? These changes aren’t dramatic, so you might not have noticed them. Since Linkedin doesn’t roll out these changes to everyone at the same time, your profile might not show them yet. The changes have two parts to them. One part involves the process for adding a section to your profile. The other part involves the overall format of your profile.   Adding a Section to Your Profile To add a section to your profile, click on the “Add profile section” button. This button is toward the top of your profile and [...]

LinkedIn is a Heartfelt Variation of a Resume

When I compare the format of LinkedIn and that of resumes, I believe that LinkedIn is a heartfelt variation of a resume. There are certainly some similarities between your LinkedIn profile and your resume. In your LinkedIn profile headline, you may use similar terms to the ones you use in your resume’s executive summary. Your profile’s Experience section, to a large extent, mirrors your resume’s references to jobs you have held. The Education section of your profile reflects the same educational institutions you list in your resume. Yet, a resume is a static document, while a Linked profile gives multiple [...]

How LinkedIn Can Help College Students Land Internships

Have you ever thought about how LinkedIn can help college students land internships? When a college student’s LinkedIn profile aligns more closely with the position description for the kind of internship they are seeking, they are more apt to land that internship. Too often college students have a very limited amount of information in their LinkedIn profile. When they add more information about their background and aspirations, they paint a more robust picture of themselves. In November 2020, a college student from Spain reached out to me after finding me online. She wanted to know if I could help her [...]
