Get used to clicking “see more,” as LinkedIn has done its best to condense the profile as much as it could. My only concern here is that visitors won’t realize that they need to click “See more” in order to…see more. Read The 39 most important words in your LinkedIn Summary* Therefore, it’s important that you utilize these two lines to grab the reader’s interest. In fact it’s not in the body of the profile rather it’s in the Snapshot area (photo above, boxed in red), and…a visitor can only see the first two lines of it. I was warned ahead of time that the Summary section of the new profile is no longer titled Summary. However, it will take a learning curve for some to find the various sections of the new profile.

One nice thing about the new profile is it is slimmed down and more visual. My first thought is, be careful what you wish for.

For this post, I’m going to focus on the profile. Having played with the new UI-no I don’t have it-there are some very nice features and some disappointments. I hope this isn’t the 11th post you’ve seen on this topic. At this point I count roughly 10 posts and a few videos explaining the differences between the old (or for some, current) user interface (UI) and the new and improved one.
