What's on your LinkedIn profile?

I am in the final stages of a major CV update and I was wondering about my LinkedIn profile.

It is quite under used and just has titles, dates of joining and leaving etc.

After a bit of research, it appears that a CV is different to LinkedIn and that kinda makes sense as they have different purposes.

What is on yours? Did you re-write everything for LinkedIn or copy and paste specific parts from your CV?

I have seen on Fiver you can even hire someone to sort your LinkedIn profile for you...kinda tempting as I hate this kinda thing.

Barely use it, still get endless recruiters contacting, it has a very brief job history and some key skills.

I dont find it much use.

Where are the keys skills? Within each role? Can you provide a couple of examples?

It really is. I think of it as a cesspit.

Def not denying this...its so cringe.

And certainly don't want my profile to be like that. :eek:
