LinkedIn Pet Peeve: DO NOT SHOOT FOR 100%
November 14th, 2011 | by Jason Alba |I continually here LinkedIn people saying you need to shoot for 100% completion on your Profile.
I regularly hear this from trainers that work at LinkedIn. I also hear it from non-LinkedIn employees.
I’m sorry but I don’t agree.
Why?
I think you need to focus on the quality of your Profile.
I’ve seen plenty of 100% complete Profiles that SUCK.
I’d rather see an 80% or 90% complete that knocks my socks off than a 100% Profile that SUCKS.
You can always inch towards the 100% (nothing wrong with GETTING 100%, just don’t FOCUS ON 100%, and have that be more important than the quality of your Profile).
