With the volume of articles I write I sometimes, much to my chagrin, pen an imperfect sentence. This one has been corrected and now says: Before you put your LinkedIn profile address on your resume or business card, make sure choose an address you want. Thanks for the catch MB!

The new (intimidating) college essay by Ann http://theessayexpert.com/blog/2012/01/31/i-refuse-to-answer-that-question-the-new-intimidating-college-essay/comment-page-1/#comment-1233 Ann Tue, 31 Jan 2012 17:36:31 +0000 http://theessayexpert.com/blog/?p=3142#comment-1233 I can't image answering some of those questions. I always thought that there was enough creativity encouraged in the questions asked before. I thought that this was where a creative mind showed forth. I guess that's what I get for thinking. Thanks for sharing. I can’t image answering some of those questions. I always thought that there was enough creativity encouraged in the questions asked before.

]]> Comment on Baffled by choosing keywords for your LinkedIn Profile HEADLINE? by The Essay Expert http://theessayexpert.com/blog/2012/01/24/baffled-by-choosing-keywords-for-your-linkedin-profile-headline/comment-page-1/#comment-1229 The Essay Expert Thu, 26 Jan 2012 15:43:37 +0000 http://theessayexpert.com/blog/?p=3111#comment-1229 This is a great question! I would say "Italian and Economics Student | Start-up Experience | Italy" I'm not sure what type of business you want to go into other than start-up? I would add that as well if you are focused in a particular area. You can talk about the businesses you ran in your summary. You can also create an entire profile in another language so you will be found by recruiters/hiring managers in Italy. I don't believe any of these headlines sound arrogant. I also think many people *think* they sound arrogant when actually they just sound confident and capable! This is a great question!

And what if someone who is already a valuable connection reads how you play around with the headlines? :) For example: I am a student at undergrad level (Economics), and I ran two businesses while at university. I also learned a new language and I am looking for work IN the country where that language is spoken (unrelated to the businesses I ran). Normally, I would write something like e.g. "Italian and Economics student with startup experience". Would you suggest otherwise? "Italy-focused, startup-experienced Economics student"? or something that directly speaks to Italian employers? "Studente Americano laureando in Economia" (American student graduating in Economics) Do you think any of these would make an attractive headline without sounding too arrogant, and still get visits? Thank you! Hi, I read so many giving this advice, but everyone seems to forget one question: won’t such headlines sometimes come across as arrogant?
