your profile is probably the most
important thing on LinkedIn
it's what other people will see when
they find you on the site you can think
of your profile like a resume a place to
add your skills education work
experience and so on to edit your
profile navigate to your profile page
and click the pencil icon in the section
of your choice we recommend you edit the
intro section at the top of your profile
first it contains your current job title
location personal summary and more so
you'll want it to make a strong
impression once you're done click Save
next you can edit your work experience
and your education and certifications to
add a new entry to either of these
sections just click the plus icon there
are also more sections like skills and
interests you can also add additional
sections if you like such as volunteer
experience or accomplishments just click
on add profile section and select the
section you want from the drop down menu
keep in mind that if you're planning to
apply to jobs make sure that your
profile is up-to-date and consistent
with your resume that way an employer
can easily match the info from your
resume to your LinkedIn profile and that
pretty much covers the basics of
creating your profile
