Suffice to say, at least in my industry LinkedIns do carry quite a bit of weight when it comes to being hired for a new role and or to be considered for promotion over a resume. Why? The reviews and recommendations. A strong LinkedIn profile can offer a huge foundation for keeping up to date.
Take this opportunity for:
- Update your LinkedIn with current and relevant information.
- Add your education to it, even if it's not completed, add your school (ex: Thomas Edison State University expected to graduate 2022) etc! You can always edit it later. This shows recruiters that YOU are working on it.
- Did you take a Coursera course or something that didn't give credit? Add your certificate!
- Ask your friends and family to join LinkedIn and give you "likes" and reviews.
- Share your Link here (if you're comfortable with it)
- If someone here at DegreeForum you know is an expert in a topic, feel free to leave them a glowing recommendation/review!
If you aren't comfortable sharing yours, please skip this topic 
Together we can create our own powerful DegreeForum Alumni Network! Who's with me?

One of the Udacity certs I did makes you update your LinkedIn profile and the teacher grades you on it. Lol I got a 100. I honestly didn't think it looked that great.

Great idea! I do try to keep my LinkedIn up to date. It took a while to get the formatting just right, but I'm pretty happy with it! I've sent you a request to connect, here's mine as well! https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessicaperdue/
