LinkedIn-summary

Your LinkedIn summary ranks among the most important professional summaries you will ever write. Whether you are looking for a job or already have one, it is imperative you stay marketable in today’s quickly changing job market. Even if you are not actively seeking a new position, employers may be actively seeking you.

It is, therefore, critical for you to distinguish yourself. The good news is, in the Internet age it has never been easier. The bad news is, it has also never been more difficult because the competition is fierce.

Your LinkedIn summary is one of the best places to catch a prospective employer or client’s attention. Since you have only 2,000 characters in which to do it, you need to choose your words wisely. Here are six pieces of information (not necessarily in any order) to include that will help you create a powerful LinkedIn summary.
