Day 10 #100DaysofCode

Today, I took a break from all the coding stuff and watched this video on how to improve your LinkedIn for software developers

Here is what I learned about LinkedIn

  • LinkedIn should be a summary of your resume
  • I need a good headshot
  • Drop generic terms like "software developer" and use tech terminology like "React" "Bootstrap" etc
  • Bio should be short
  • Feature section is essential!
    • Everything I've done should go here
  • Keep strengths on LinkedIn
  • Show quantitative improvements
    • Job description is what I achieved not what I did
  • Skills and endorsements are not that important
    • Certifications should not be the focus
  • Recommendations are powerful.
