Under the Radar Ways to Spark Interest in Your LinkedIn Profile (Part 1)
LinkedIn might seem a bit plain, but guess what? You can jazz it up with special characters! 🎉
🔎The Quest for Cool
LinkedIn may not allow you to do fancy stuff like bold or underline, but you can still add some flair by copying and pasting special symbols and emojis. (Look for our next post for a formatting workaround!)
🔎Watch Out for Surprises
But here's the tricky part: symbols can look different depending on what device or system you're using. So, before you go wild, make sure to check how your profile looks on different gadgets.
🔎Picking Your Favorite Ones
Keep it simple! Stick to easy-to-recognize symbols like stars, circles, and squares to make sure your profile looks awesome no matter where you're browsing from.
🔎A Friendly Reminder
Don't go overboard! Too many special characters can make your profile look cluttered. Just sprinkle them in here and there for a touch of fun.
