I bought the old edition in August, was so excited to hear about the new edition that I pre-ordered it for a friend who graduated in December and was freaking out about post-college life. I know it’ll help her as much as it did for me!

Comment on 5 Steps to a Fantastic LinkedIn Profile by Lindsey Pollak

@Dara – I’m so glad this was helpful for you. Definitely keep those older experiences on LinkedIn! For a headline, I’d suggest checking out successful people in your industry (just use LinkedIn’s Advanced Search to find them) and borrow some ideas of positive, keyword-rich headlines for your industry. You might also be interested in the free “LinkedIn for Job Seekers” webinars I teach each month. Even if you are not job hunting there is a lot of advice on profile writing and networking: http://learn.linkedin.com/jobseeker. Good luck!

This article was incredibly helpful to me. I’ve been wondering if I should remove older experiences from my linkedin for a while now, but your article convinced me not to! I would have loved to hear your thoughts about writing a headline. I still use my current job title, I just can’t decide on a different headline though I know it would be much more beneficial.

I really appreciate your point about having a business card. I recently just completed a job search and I can see the value of networking. Business cards would really help in that.

This is a great article and the book is something I will put forward to the younger people who come from college we work with. Indeed self assessment is important…I also get each person first to carefully think and write out their ‘personal marketing strategy’. Like you mentioned it needs careful planning, especially if you don’t have that much time to go job hunting…
