Resume LinkedIn Writing - Its All About Integrity

Resume LinkedIn Writing - It's All About IntegrityResume LinkedIn writing can be tricky. First of all, if you know what LinkedIn is and how it works, then the language you write in your resume will be different than if you didn't. Second, if you've never worked in the particular field you're looking for, then the language you use in your resume may well be quite different to that used by someone else who has.But because LinkedIn is just another social networking site, you can be sure that you will encounter a variety of voices on LinkedIn and you will want to ensure that your writing remains professional. The writing style you use in your resume must be consistent throughout. You cannot slip up one time and assume that the style of writing you'll use in the next job posting will be the same as the style you'll use at a later job posting.Remember, that because LinkedIn is a networking site, it is largely based on the common ways people network. Therefore, if you are constantly posting links to your LinkedIn profile, you may want to consider taking down these posts. The more newsworthy you are, the less likely you are to attract people to your profile. Be interesting and informative.If you're currently running a business, LinkedIn is also an excellent resource for advertising. There are so many other professional types there on LinkedIn, too, and many of them are looking for your help or assistance with their businesses. If you are able to show that you have an understanding of how to successfully market a business on LinkedIn, this can be a valuable strategy for increasing your visibility in the professional world.What does LinkedIn have to say about its writers? There is little control given to writers at LinkedIn, but there are some rules that may apply to writers that are helpful.On LinkedIn, there is a 'Professional Content Guidelines 'that states that you may not participate in any 'replica or set-up' of the content of a publication unless you specifically ask to do so. There is also a specific section of the guidelines that says you may not use an image of a person to depict your picture. A link from your profile to a blog or website with the same or similar content is also prohibited.Also, there is a section of the LinkedIn policies that can include rules about which content is allowed and which is not allowed. Again, if you are unsure what these policies are, you should consult the site's policies.In summary, the rules on LinkedIn are very simple: you can post anything you'd like. If you are using LinkedIn to promote a product or business, however, you should avoid linking to content that might be construed as promoting your business or product. However, you may wish to link to websites and blogs that are related to your business, as long as these are interesting and informative.
