Could The Essay Expert be out of a Job LinkedIn Introduces Profile Makeovers

Could The Essay Expert be out of a Job LinkedIn Introduces Profile Makeovers I need your help. LinkedIn announced on August 9, 2011 that they have rolled out yet another new feature on their site:   the “Improve Your Profile Tool.”   According to the LinkedIn blog, this tool “analyzes your profile and offers you personalized profile recommendations to help you put your best foot forward.” Clichés aside, this tool could be extremely useful to you if your profile is not 100% complete, or if you have failed to include key information. Here’s my problem:   I ran the Profile Makeover on my own profile, and all it told me was that I didn’t advertise my date of graduation from high school (I left it out by choice, as some of you might as well); I didn’t list the degree I got from high school (pretty obvious isn’t it?); and I didn’t specify the concentration of my J.D. (there wasn’t one â€" a J.D. is a J.D.). Where I’m left, as a LinkedIn profile writer and editor, is that I have no idea what other types of suggestions LinkedIn might make to its users who have not optimized their profiles. That’s where you come in. I would love for you to put your profile through the Improve Your Profile process and report back on this blog what the tool tells you is missing or incorrect in your profile. I will then know what advice I should be giving to people about LinkedIn, and what information LinkedIn will take care of.   I don’t want to be duplicating things unnecessarily!   The data you provide will greatly inform the content I choose to convey in my e-book and LinkedIn webinars. To use the tool, start at LinkedIn’s article, LinkedIn Profile Makeovers just got easier, and then click in “Improve your LinkedIn Profile today!” Are you game?   I look forward to learning from the community what improvements LinkedIn thinks you should make to your profile. I promise to make good use of your comments.   And I don’t really think I am out of a job…   I just won’t be doing the things a computer can do quite well on its own.   Just in case, though, maybe I should make sure my LinkedIn profile is updated. Any ideas on how I can do that?
