Weak verbs. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. No illustrative value on your LinkedIn profile.
I continue to come across well-educated and verbally articulate professionals who use such non-business-like language in their LinkedIn profiles in speaking about themselves.
Not really helping tell “why” them. Not much meaningful impression-making to the casual attention-deficit reader, they persist in writing their profile in a spoken jocular voice on their electronic brand marketing that is LinkedIn.
There’s a fine line between being haughty/verbose and being persuasive/articulate.
Find it.
No, discover it.
Better, capitalize on it!
