Your LinkedIn profile is clearly very important and underpins everything you do on LinkedIn – I think we all know that these days. Building an effective, optimised profile is actually pretty easy, once you have been shown how. But one section, in my experience, causes us untold levels of anxiety – the About section (previously summary). Most About sections are about as interesting as watching paint dry! So why do we find it so hard to write something interesting and informative about ourselves? In this edition of LinkedInformed I’m going to focus on how to write an excellent About section and demonstrate some great examples.
