Using LinkedIn: Reorganizing your profile

Spread the love

Earlier this month LinkedIn announced it had added a new feature to the site. You can now reorganize your profile. Sections you would like to highlight can now be moved to the top of your profile simply and easily.

How is this helpful? If you are a recent graduate with work experience not related to the jobs you are looking for, moving your education ahead of your experience might be helpful. If you’ve added an application like importing your blog you might want to move that up or down. Perhaps you have a lot of recommendations. Maybe having them above your work experience would be more beneficial to you.

There are some drawbacks. Many people on LinkedIn wish you could move things around within categories. For example, if you move the recommendations to the top of your profile, you move them all, not just one or two you’d like to highlight. Also, you can’t move just your current position to the top of your profile, you have to move all your work experience.

Here’s a quick video showing you how to do it. You can watch it here on on YouTube.

Overall, this is not a groundbreaking change. However, some people might find it useful.
