And one of the things that I wanted to, to bring, uh, to people's attention is that within your LinkedIn profile, the, uh, add, uh, section.
When you would go to your LinkedIn profile, at the very top it would say open to, add section, enhance profile resources.
When you hit add section, it would say, um, you know, uh, you know, additional things that you can add, you know, standard things that you can add, and then there was, like, a dropdown menu.
And people always said, "Well, how do I add the volunteer experience? How- where do I find, um, to add skills? W- where do I add education? How do I update my About section? Where do I add, um, an, an experience?" And LinkedIn has actually made it easier, and all you have to do is click the add section button, uh, right next to open to.
And instead of listing it in those three categories, they actually just have it broken down into seven specific, uh, features to add to your profile and then a more area.
And just to kind of run, run it down, it, it quantifies basically the, the top seven things that people traditionally add.
Uh, they can add a position, education, projects, connected apps, services, career break, and skills.
The great thing is it's just a scrolling, you know, window up and down, and you just have to click a plus sign to add that specific area of your LinkedIn profile.
Uh, they have your featured section, licenses and certifications, courses, recommendations, volunteer experience, publications, patents, honors and awards, test scores, languages, organizations, and causes.
If someone was to say, "Well, you know, what should I add to my LinkedIn profile based on what I have available here?" Well, I would say anything that's relevant.
So whatever is relevant to you, all it's gonna do is it's just going to enhance your profile.
It's going to enhance your visibility, and it's also gonna en- enhance the connection points between you and poten- potential customers and clients.
