21. LinkedIn versus resume
• LinkedIn is social!
o be personable, speak in first person, show your personality (conversational)
o more flexibility & creativity
• LinkedIn is all about you!
o your profile is tailored to your professional brand more so than to a company
o include broader experiences, projects, skills, and interests in a variety of formats
o written documents are formal, company-specific, direct ask and intention
22. before we start
turn off “Notify your network” when making many small changes
don’t mark a connection request as “I Don’t Know” unless they are
negatively impacting you

found on the right side of your
profile under “Who’s Viewed your
Profile?”
