LinkedIn realizes that there is a gap between a profile page (I gnash my teeth on this every day) and business writing.
I hear laments by HR managers and recruiters that confirm the ability to write persuasively is a lost art.
However, the ability to text (not LMAO, but SMH) an emoticon-filled menagerie of symbols, acronyms, and vowel-starved words is not business-quality writing. Speedy abbreviation is not quality. Texting has its place, don’t get me wrong, but not as a business memo or email to a department about a new initiative.
So starting soon there will be a place on your profile page to insert a written sample of your work to demonstrate your prosaic prowess and compositional competency.
Or not.
