Boosting Linkedin

Hello Everyone!  I was first required to create a LinkedIn account for a Marketing class I took last semester. My account was made with little to no information. However, this week I focused on updating my LinkedIn profile. While exploring the site, I discovered the variety of information LinkedIn allows you to project to viewers. It really allows you to create an interactive, professional profile that physical resumes cannot provide. After the experience, I realized just how vital a platform LinkedIn is to both employers and candidates. Through this, I went from a beginner profile to advanced!

I began the update by adding in the school I attend and the degree I am en route towards. After, I inserted skills that I possessed, including the skills I attained from this Infographics class such as Canva and Piktochart. I continued to add the Nonprofit Organizations I currently volunteer with in addition to relevant courses I have taken. Adding a project file was very interesting because it is a great showcase of skills. It is one thing to claim you have a certain skill and to actually have it. This feature is an outlet that allows you to prove the claim as well. The project I added was a compilation of the infographics I have created recently. I wanted to add a picture but I do not have a professional picture yet. Hopefully, I will get the opportunity to take one soon! I am excited to add a picture because with it I will be able to attain the All Star status.
