I was speaking to one of the best upcoming tech bloggers the other
day about LinkedIn, and how I view it. To me, LinkedIn isn’t a place to dump a
snapshot of where you’ve been. It’s an opportunity to stay connected to people,
and to demonstrate where you are now, and where you plan to go next. To that
end, I’ve got a little advice for you to consider applying to your own profile.

Your Summary
Here’s where I think the most work can be done. When I look at my profile, I think it’s a bit long, but otherwise, I’ve done the following:
- Lead with what I do most.
- Lead with the type of business I want to do.
- Move into the reasons why you’d do business with me.
- Move from there into all the nuances of what I do.
