Creating a LinkedIn profile is a "must", particularly for job-seekers. It's also a "must" that your profile includes a Summary, 2,000 characters of prime real estate located below the Headline. Unlike a resume, a LinkedIn Summary is often written in the first person. It's a place to tell your story, show some humor, chat about interests, explain a career change, flaunt a testimonial, etc. This discussion offers tips for a well written LinkedIn Summary.
