Your LinkedIn Profile is Your Resume Mini-me

mini-me2Over 27 million people are using LinkedIn to get in front of potential hiring managers, recruiters, business partners, and decision makers. Yet many LinkedIn profiles I view are missing the key ingredients that help differentiate candidates and are simply a laundry list of every job the person has ever held.

In order to take full advantage of all LinkedIn has to offer, be sure to start with a robust profile. The format of the LinkedIn profile is similar to the template for a resume, so it makes sense to craft a message about your candidacy on LinkedIn based on some of the most salient points on your resume. 

Think of your LinkedIn profile as your resume mini-me…a scaled-down version of you and your accomplishments and a composite of all you have to offer an employer.
