4 paragraph Summary

Major Assignment: LinkedIn Summary

In addition to designing a resume, write a separate LinkedIn “Summary” paragraph of your general qualifications that would appeal to recruiters and hiring managers.

Remember that the LinkedIn summary is a digital introduction to career professionals in your field. Write several paragraphs about yourself, your goals, the career you’re looking for, and your education (LinkedIn allows you to write up to 2,400 characters, including spaces). Employers want to know what you can do for them, so tell them in these paragraphs. Don’t be afraid of explaining what you’re capable of in your summary (See Palmer’s supplemental LinkedIn reading for more information).

The summary will be assessed on content and persuasiveness

See Blackboard for the assessment rubric.
