As a freelancer/consultant, I find LinkedIn to be severely lacking. The focus on job titles and roles means that people like me don't get to showcase our skills and capabilities.
Imo, it feels like a solution for the world a decade ago than the world a decade from now. Would love something that focuses more on skills, projects, and capabilities than job titles.
- tmaly 4y agoLinkedIn recently added content analytics. It seems they are trying to be some type of Tiktok/YouTube/IG for business. Have you considered posting content related to your field?
- warrenm 4y agoI'd rather point people to my personal website for that kind of content - don't want to be more beholden than necessary to someone else hosting my stuff
- soco 4y agoThe already mentioned PolyWork offers indeed this focus on skills.
- personaenon 4y agoMainly for devs.....
- GianFabien 4y agoAgreed: it would be great to find suitable freelancers for specific projects based upon skills, experience and value they are willing to delivery.
- shultays 4y agoYou can put a showcase of the projects you have worked on and explain what you did/what your responsibilities were
- JacobAldridge 4y agoHave you upgraded to Showcase / LI for Creators - https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/li4c/ https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/li4c/ ? I haven't put the effort into it yet, but occasionally bump into a profile that has upgraded - it took a few views to understand, but now I can see far more of their portfolio / projects / case studies before going into job titles and company history.
