LinkedIn Part 2: Fundamentals
LinkedIn Part 2: Fundamentals
When looking at other LinkedIn profiles, you may notice symbols (stars triangles, etc.). These symbols can easily be
incorporated into your own profile by simply copying and pasting them from another LinkedIn profile. These symbols
can be used in place of bullets, in your header, or to call attention to certain aspects of your summary or experience.
These profiles are fictional and meant to represent the type of profile you can aspire to. Your profile may have
fewer/more accomplishments or use different language. The goal is for your profile header and summary to be a
strong representation of your brand and to catch the attention of your audience, hiring managers, recruiters, and
networking contacts.
