Career Services, Job Searching & Resume Writing: Writing a LinkedIn Summary

Creating a LinkedIn profile is a "must" particularly for job-seekers.  With 300 million profiles worldwide, it's no wonder that some employers don't even bother posting new openings anymore; instead, they search LinkedIn for potential candidates.

It's also a "must" that your profile capture the attention of decision-makers. Yet, over 50% of profiles do not include a Summary -- 2,000 characters of prime real estate located below the Headline.  By skipping a Summary, you miss a great opportunity to promote and differentiate yourself in a competitive job market. 

This workshop will show you a collection of LinkedIn Summaries that pop!  Many of the best incorporate specific techniques such as an anecdote, a "hook," or use humor.  Others highlight accomplishments, or include a 3rd party testimonial.  Learn how to write a "call to action" and where to include your list of Key Words. Presented by Sherry Natkow. 

Participants are encouraged to bring their own Summary -- if they have one.
