Digital tip of the week – How to write a perfect LinkedIn summary
The summary section on your LinkedIn profile is your presentation letter to the world and the way you can encourage people to read on. Simplicity is key to have a good summary that will reflect and summarize the rest of your profile. Here are some recommendations:
- It should be detailed, but concise. But try to use the 2,000 characters available leveraging key words and phrases related to the role and the business.
- Be organized: try to not have your summary look too cluttered, instead break it up with Subheads and make it easy to read.
- Include your contact information. Make it easy for people to find you.
