People often fail to make the most of their LinkedIn experience section.

However, LinkedIn studies show that profile visitors tend to skip to this section after scanning the visual profile elements.

Here are 7 tips for creating a “stand out” experience section:

1. Make it clear who you help and how you help them.

2. You have 2,000 characters in total, so keep your sentences short and punchy.

3. Include a clear call to action at the end.

4. If you feature your company, set up a Company Page with a logo. No logo means no credibility.

5. Add media (i.e. external links to web pages, slideshare presentations, articles, videos, photos, etc.)

6. Showcase skills - this helps people find your profile more easily and understand your expertise at a glance.

7. Focus on your most recent experiences. Just because you have 15+ prior experiences doesn’t mean they’re all relevant to what you do now.
