Because when the person interviewing you says you should be
on LinkedIn, you get on LinkedIn.
I filled in all of the fields I saw, and clicked Create Profile.
Ruh-Roh. I need to select and industry.
This is my biggest LinkedIn dread. If I pick an industry I
want, my work history doesn't reflect it. In the past, I picked the industry I worked
in, an industry I was trying to escape. I kept getting job offers for that
industry. What to choose?
Entertainment? I'm still quite fascinated with the industry
Events Services? Working with an Event Coordinator, running
around day of, seems right up my alley
Design? I do like pretty things
Media Production? Oooo, I'd like to help with that!
Performing Arts? Someday I'll get back to community theatre
And the winner is. . .
Writing and Editing. Because even without a job, I still
write. It's a constant, regardless of the industry I work in.
This new LinkedIn profile is not a perfect picture. But it is
the modern resume. This late adopter has to get with the times.
