LinkedIn Education Gets a GRADE!
Today I was optimizing a LinkedIn profile for a recruiter and I stumbled upon a NEW FIELD! The education section has a new field called, GRADE! Yes, LinkedIn now allows you to enter your grade for the school you attended. It’s actually a rather odd field. It says grade, not GPA. In my mind, there is a difference.

I have a feeling that few will fill out the new grade field willingly unless they...

Having written hundreds and hundreds of LinkedIn profiles, I have seen every kind of password imaginable and I’d have to say, the most popular password is tennis. Any password that could be found in a dictionary, such as tennis, is a very insecure password. You see, hackers run dictionary attacks by successively logging in using a word list derived from a dictionary. Why would a hacker want to...
read moreHappy Birthday, LinkedIn Makeover!
It was two years ago I decided to offer my LinkedIn profile writing services to the world! I was writing LinkedIn profiles prior to the debut of this Website but I only offered these services to my clients in my local area. I remember sitting down with a little tablet and writing down potential domain names. I couldn’t decide between LinkedIn Makeover and LinkedIn Facelift. Gosh, I am glad I went with LinkedIn Makeover! LinkedIn Facelift sounds rather ominous, doesn’t it? It’s been such an amazing ride. I LOVE working...
