LinkedIn Profile Character Limits

Posted by Donna Serdula on Jul 15, 2010 in LinkedIn Tips | 2 comments

Did you know that there are character limits to how much you can post on your LinkedIn profile?

Headline: 120 Characters
Summary: 2,000 Characters
Specialties: 500 Characters
Company Name: 100 Characters
Position Title: 100 Characters
Position Description: 2,000 Characters
Interests: 1,000 Characters
Status Field: 140 Characters

Now just because you could use 2,000 characters to describe your latest job position, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it! Okay, okay, it’s true that search engines like high word counts with lots of relevant keywords but don’t do it just to do it. Make sure you have something to say… something valuable! Here’s something to consider, the more you write, the more you potentially disqualify yourself! So as one of my favorite sayings goes: Be Brief, Be Bright, Be Gone!
