What's too much on a LinkedIn Profile?
I've seen people put clubs on their experience, long paragraphs for their about, and sometimes even add lengthy bullet points to their clubs and work experiences
From an analyst and/or recruiter's standpoint, what would be considered too much info in the description/activities & societies? Always heard less is more, but would love to hear what you guys have to say.
I just have my university, and within its description I have a list of the activities and positions I have with one line per, in order of prominence. As for experience, I only have the positions and dates without description, as that is enough context for whoever’s reading to figure out what I was doing. If it’s a smaller name or your own company etc, I’d consider writing a little bit.
I’ve always thought it’s pretty gay to have an about section or have a lot of writing on your LinkedIn. Unless you have your SIE or shit that actually matters or won an insane award, nobody gives a fuck you’d have an excel associate certification. Seems pretty tryhard, and that kind of stuff you can prob save for the resume.
Not a recruiter or expert by any means so take this all with a grain of salt. From my understanding what you put on your LinkedIn is relatively subjective and people will say different things. I have been told to put descriptions with some substance under activities, but also have been told to leave stuff blank or incredibly brief. I think having too much might not be the best idea but I couldn’t see how having some sort of description would hurt, yet I don’t think it’s necessary to really have much of anything at all. Do what you feel is best
maybe something you did is lesser known so explaining it might be smart, but realistically most the people I see in the industry don’t put much.
