Notas do Editor
- Compelling, tell people who you are, complete it completelty
- Profile Picture, which you all have completed today. If there is no profile picture it instills a matter of I cant trust them. Then obviously your name. Headline Maximize the 120 characters of your headline by describing what you do and who you serve. Don’t just name your job title. “If it says, ‘CEO of ABC Corp.,’ they don’t know what you offer,” she says. “So it could be ‘CEO of ABC Corp: Helping business-to-business professionals with all their accounting needs.’” Summary This 2,000-character space is where the LinkedIn algorithm searches for key words, so be sure to fill it with information you think your target audience is looking for, and to jazz it up with awards or anything that will make you stand out. Job seekers will want to put in keywords that match those of the jobs they are looking for, and business owners will want to use terms that their clients might be looking for.make it readable content.. Adding Media below the summary if it makes sense for your line of work. “If you’re an accountant, you probably won’t put up a client’s P&L, but any kind of credential-like content you can add or testimonials — take a screenshot of a testimonial page, if you’ve got a website — adds proof,” she says. Other types of media you may want to add include Youtube videos, jpegs, Slideshare presentations, mp3s, blogs, articles quoting you, or any other media that that gives credibility to your claims about who you say you are and what you do.

- 14. Review Skills & Endorsements The Skills & Endorsements section is one of the most misunderstood and berated features of LinkedIn, so it's not surprising that most people aren't taking advantage of all this section has to offer. Yet according to LinkedIn, members who include skills and utilize this section receive 13x more profile views. And most of the criticism stems from the fact that members can endorse other members for anything, so it's possible for other people to endorse you for skills you don't have, or wouldn't want to display on your profile. Yet you retain complete control over what skills are displayed, and even which skills you can receive endorsements on. Click on Edit next to the Skills & Endorsements section to edit your skills. First, if you really don't want to use this feature, you can turn it off here. Next, you can choose whether or not your connections should be encouraged to endorse you (YES!) and whether or not you want to be encouraged to endorse them (ALSO YES!). Next you'll see a list of the skills you've already added, and a field to add more You can list up to 50 skills, Make sure that you've decided for yourself what 50 skills you want to be endorsed for, as this will ensure you don't get lots of endorsements for random skills. Refer back to the LinkedIn Keywords list we created earlier. Now it's time to prioritize those skills. The skills that are most relevant to your business and the kind of work you want to get should be listed first, so drag your skills around until they're in the order you want. Once saved, the top ten will be listed along with thumbnails of your endorsers, followed by a list of the next 15 skills, and a button to see the final 25. So note that only your top 25 skills are seen on your profile. Since the first ten skills are the ones that viewers of your profile can easily endorse, I often cycle different skills into that top ten listing to give them a bump in endorsements. For instance, I recently added "Blog Coach" as a skill in addition to the "Blogging" and "Content Marketing" skills I was already displaying. Since it's a new skill, it hasn't received many endorsements yet, so I put it in my top ten to get it more attention. It will soon be in the 99+ listings like many other skills.

- Current & Previous Position Title – Weighted very highly. I would argue that this is your most important field, and would strongly recommend that you use the 100 characters to its full potential. Don’t just say “project manager”; you should include as many of the descriptive words (which you identified earlier) as you can to describe your position (providing it has relevance to your current position). For example instead of project manager I might say “Project Manager, ecommerce customer experience for checkout, cart, and post-order”. 100 Character Limit
