In software we call this a “micro-optimization”… Something that programmers waste a lot of time fussing with while ignoring the factors that dominate the overall performance. Fiddle with LinkedIn if you want, but understand that it probably won’t make a significant difference either way.
- tryitnow 4y agoThis pretty much sums it up. There's about ten other things that are self-evidently more important in a job search than this.
- waylandsmithers 4y agoA long time ago I spent a little while debating whether listing my middle initial on my resume would make it look "more professional"
- tomcam 4y agoJust watch it with the full middle name, which has a serial killer ring (jk (mostly)).
- lizardking 4y agoMaybe true in most cases, but adding a somewhat niche skill set to my Linkedin profile late last year almost immediately yielded me an attractive job offer.
- version_five 4y agoUnfortunately that's the appeal (and basically the value proposition) of linkedin - it's social media dressed up to make you feel like you're doing something, when you're really just polishing a turd (as it were). Anything is better than spending time there, if you want a job or clients or whatever, but it's the easiest thing to do so people keep coming back.
