Making the most of your LinkedIn Profile

Are you an 'All-rounded' individual?

The beauty of LinkedIn is that you decide exactly what you want others to know about you. If you just show details of your work life people may get an impression of you which is ot what you'd like. People on Facebook seem to show all sorts of photographs, some of which could be there to hang them in the future, and tell their friends and/or everyone everything about their personal lives.

I suggest on LinkedIn you at least headline your interests, what organisations you belong to and what degrees, honours and qualifications you've acquired over your lifetime. You can add your book reading lists, tell people where you're travelliong to, show a short PowerPoint of some area of expertise etc. This is all based around your as a professional and shows what sort of a person you really are.
