Displaying badges on LinkedIn - aka… How much is too much???

I still have the same problem, though. I went certificate crazy last year and have a bunch of credentials that overcrowd my education section. I think LinkedIn needs a Professional Development section where we can add such noncredit, but substantial, certs that don't fit well in other sections.

Also, I don't look at LinkedIn as I would a resume. On a resume, I'd pick the few things that are most relevant and help me to come off as most well rounded and ready for the job. On LinkedIn, I try to give the most complete picture possible.

I have toyed with creating a link to Credly and a link to Saylor certificates and have them each as a single entry rather than course by course, but that didn’t seem right either.  For now, I am trying out just having my credly link as my “website” since i don’t really have a website.  But I am not sure about that either.  I do think a lot of mine is fluff.  Especially the ones I did during the early months of Covid when a lot of stuff was free.

You can hide some of the Credly badges. (But I think that you can't auto-accept if you are selectively hiding badges.)
