Tip #1: Missing the \u0410bout section<\/span><\/h2>\n

Your title and the first two lines of your summary section will be the first things readers see.<\/span><\/p>\n

Adding a summary of your experience<\/span><\/a>, interests, or achievements is very appealing.<\/span><\/p>\n

You have 120 characters in your title to briefly introduce yourself and your work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pro tip:<\/b> Don\u2019t make it all about you. People don\u2019t care who you are, they only care about what you can do for them. To do this the right way, make sure you check out their <\/span>LinkedIn headline fails<\/span><\/a> as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Speak to your target audience directly. You want potential customers to immediately recognise that they are in the proper location and that you are the expert who can solve their particular problems when they visit your profile.<\/span><\/p>\n

Be wary of oversharing! It is generally frowned upon when users share personal information on LinkedIn. After all, this is a strictly professional network as opposed to Facebook or Twitter for example.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A decent general rule of thumb is to avoid posting anything on LinkedIn that isn’t business-related unless you want to risk losing the respect and confidence of your contacts.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is not to say that you should never write anything personal, but do so in moderation and with consideration for your LinkedIn audience.<\/span><\/p>\n
