Why Your LinkedIn Summary Is Not Simply A Resume Summary...

There are 3 key reasons why you should not just copy your resume summary onto your LinkedIn summary...

  1. Resumes tend to be filled with overused phrases and buzz words such as 'results orientated', 'team player', 'dynamic', 'motivated'...get rid of them!
  2. You have 2000 characters to say something really good about yourself...use all of them!
  3. Resumes lack keywords, so it's a good idea to use keywords to get found on LinkedIn!

If you haven't got a LinkedIn account yet then I would strongly urge you to think about opening one in the near future...today would be good!

LinkedIn is getting bigger and bigger with each passing day...DON'T GET LEFT BEHIND!
