Not quite sure where she stands on the About section. (Link to video in comments.) This got me to thinking, should we, as career coaches, put as much emphasis on the About section? After all, it seems (based on a highly successful article written by Kevin D. Turner with help from Jeff Young and Gillian Whitney) that LinkedIn is pumping up About and diminishing Experience in their new design. (Link to article in comments.) But given that Amy and 9 out of 11 recruiters I polled agree that Experience is read first, we have ourselves a debate. So let's take a poll to see which of the two sections are read first. Please vote as such: Recruiters, hiring authorities: 𝗔 for 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 Recruiters, hiring authorities: 𝗘 for 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 In addition: others (former recruiters, career coaches, and job seekers) may also vote: Others: 𝗔 for 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 Others: 𝗘 for 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲
