How can I make my LinkedIn profile stand out with formatting?

You can make your LinkedIn profile stand out by using strategic formatting in your headline, About section, and experience descriptions.

Keep it in first person and use our LinkedIn formatter to create proper formatting with line breaks and bullet points.

How often should I update my LinkedIn profile?

Update your headline if your focus changes, refresh your About section to reflect current goals, add new skills and achievements, and update your profile photo annually.

Should I include all my work experience on LinkedIn?

Focus on including relevant work experience that supports your current career goals.
