LinkedIn - Do you add your job experience?

Consider this: You meet a consultant at a conference who seems to be a perfect fit for your big project. You look them up on LinkedIn, but their profile has no job history. Most people would feel skeptical if this happened - and they might not hire that consultant. Here's the quick way to give your profile credibilty:

Value of adding experience

• Credibility - It showcases your career progression, skills, and areas of expertise
• Visibility - LinkedIn's algorithm favors profiles with more job history. This means you're more likely to appear in search results

How to add job experience

1. Add a position (or edit an existing position)
2. Fill out the fields:
3. Job title (see Do you prefix your job title with the company name?)
4. Dates
5. Location
6. Skills
7. Media - E.g. a video of your office
