This unit's discussion asks you to create a professional summary you could use on LinkedIn on which you will get feedback from your peers and instructor. LinkedIn and other social media sites have become important for job seekers, but they present different challenges than cover letters and résumés. Cover letters and résumés can be tailored to individual jobs, but your professional summary on LinkedIn can't.
However, it is important to have a good professional summary, as this can help you make connections with people for whom you may eventually produce targeted application materials. (LinkedIn and other social media sites also let you gather information about particular companies, positions, hiring personnel, or managers that can help you write targeted cover letters and résumés.)
Directions:
Read the following web articles that discuss effective LinkedIn profile design, and review the examples of effective profiles.

Then, you will write your own profile summary that you could use on LinkedIn. A professional summary on LinkedIn has to be less than 2000 characters (that is around 300 words).
When you reply to your peers, give them feedback on what is effective in their profile and why it is effective, and also discuss what they could improve and how. Good feedback is constructive and specific.
NOTE: We are not asking you to post the summary on LinkedIn! You may open a LinkedIn account if you wish, but do not post your summary until after you have received feedback on the sample summary you post in this discussion topic.
