Linkedin has a lot way more updates in 2022 than in 2020. Changing titles while uploading the video 2 years ago is misleading to those who want to optimize their profiles. Sad, YouTubers care about views, not caring about what they truly bring to the table. Sorry, Prof, had to tell you this.

This is why I have so many problems with resumes and applications. Talking myself up goes against almost everything I learned from being in the working world. I've seen to many people basically BS their way into positions that they weren't ready or prepared for. Sometimes it works but more often than not they make a mess out of it somewhere or someway.

I guess maybe I just fall in line with the rest and do the same.

[bluejay]

thank you so much I get so overwhelmed by all social media and networking things I am trying to learn and this was a helpful start!

Hello Heather, can you please make a video on LinkedIn “featured” section ?
How to best use it ? I love your videos by the way. Thank you so much for all the content.

I'm new to Linkedin, and this video was very useful for a first impact with it. Thank you very much!

[rosemartin]

Hi Professor Heather I am new to this LinkedIn and I enjoyed your video full of knowledge. And I also noticed that you have two step 4's in this video. Thank you and more power!

[aenglish]

Thanks for sharing this comprehensive tutorial and complimentary course! ❤ You're a very easy to follow & generous instructor🎉🎉🎉

[ninaoglesby]

You've done it again, Professor Heather!

You are a Rockstar. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels so grateful for the passionate way you share your insightful information. It's value and power-packed, game-changing knowledge.

I look forward to passing this along to my client. I'm sure I'll also be using some of this for myself. Thank you!

[nancyjoneff]

I don't know how to get started so hope your video will assist!

[liad]

Hi Heather. I just found you, and enjoy your videos! What should you do if you have multiple skills that don't have anything in common? For example, music production vs payroll/HR. I understand that you can't have more than 1 linkedin profile. Also, for music, I go by a different name than for corporate work.

[saricella]

Heather, this video was recommended in my university course at Western Sydney University. You've done a great job here, I actually understand how to properly set up my linkedin profile now! Thank you!

Back in the day looking for a job was so simple. I miss those days... Now, jobs are asking for 45-1hr to apply for the job. Interviews are 1-3 hours long. You need a resume and LinkedIn which basically is another resume.😊🤪

[nurlanmarkazli]

Thanks, I finished setting up my profile properly.

[sriramjayaram]

Thank you very much for boosting the level of confidence exclusively at the beginner level of the Linked-in-Platform.

[TheaHo]

First time I watched your video, and It is awesome!

[suninderb]

Very beautiful presentation, written caption’s makes it more useful as those not conversant with your accent also understand it easily. Good Day

[nikikoutsoftides]

I guess the best idea is to go along with the Professor and edit slowly your profile. Because otherwise you might get lost or forget something important

[nerissaplata]

Thank you so much! This is so informative and helpful. I just started creating my LinkedIn profile and would like to optimize it. Good thing I found this :)
