LinkedIn Profile
Tips Article #1.
Due to the professional nature of LinkedIn, it’s easy to
see why so many users perceive
it to be a kind of online resume, portfolio and bio all
rolled into one.
One of the biggest questions for professionals out there
is whether they should write
their LinkedIn profile in the first or third person.
Completing your LinkedIn profile really isn’t a complicated task at all.
You are simply completing the listed fields with
information about yourself.
All the required information should be really easy to add
but a potential stumbling block
is the fact that you are limited to a certain amount of
characters per field. The summary section,
for instance, only allows for up to 2,000 characters
which can prove challenging for many.
Perception is
Everything!
When writing your profile summary and completing other
parts of your LinkedIn profile,
you might be inclined to do so in the third person.
Professional bios are often (if not always)
written in the third person. Just take a look at various
personal websites out there
of famous personal trainers, advisers and other
professionals.
The third person has a different feel to it and can
almost make that person appear
even more powerful and influential than if it was written
in the first person.
That being said, writing in the third person can come across
as impersonal and if not backed up
with strong positioning, it can be perceived as arrogant
or even a bit megalomaniac.
While your website could quite easily be drafted by a representative,
While your website could quite easily be drafted by a representative,
the whole point of professional social networking
is to nurture professional relationships with a personal
touch.
That’s why so many LinkedIn users prefer to write about
themselves in the first person.
You want profile viewers to know that you completed and manage your own profile.
You want profile viewers to know that you completed and manage your own profile.
If they contact you or try to connect, they want to know
that it is really you on the other side
and not your social media marketer, another secretary or
gatekeeper.
Conclusion:Take a look at your LinkedIn profile while bearing in mind that it should
resemble
a warm invitation to reach out, with useful information
that could be included in a resume.
When you think of it like this, it will be easy to
understand why writing in the first person
is so much more effective and engaging.
