I am starting to put together my LinkedIn profile and I need help to make it more appealing considering the only thing I’ve been doing for the previous 5 years is to put PowerPoints together and properly formatting it (EMprint 10pt always) and useless charts. Appreciate any tips to pretend I’m marketable to other companies out there :) thanks y’all

Linked In is a very good networking too and how I got my job quickly after EM. Take that cube picture - everyone outside understands the meaning. Follow companies you like and would work for. Look at their job boards on LI. Network, network, network - outside of EM.
Sign up for fake online certificate s such as Stanford LEAD program, Harvard Data Science program, MIT AI program, Wharton $99 Analytics program. Then show these esteemed universities in your LinkedIn profile Title to give the false impression that you “a loser” is actually a graduate from these university.
Next step is to like every manager’s LI post and create your own posts proclaiming yourself a leader and tag as many managers as practically possible to be noticed.
You are in your way to compete like a real psycho
@OP The best advice I can offer about LinkedIn is to stay off of it.
LinkedIn consists mostly of fresh grads, near retirees, and low-level recruiters contracted by companies to bid candidates down to the lowest possible compensation level. If you hear from a recruiter on there, it’ll be to ask your current salary. They use the information to etch benchmarks and round down other candidates with the same quals as yours. It’s a game.
The best way to land a job is via your personal network.
Make sure your LinkedIn profile is in EMprint 10pt.
Clearly a troll. If you spent any time already making PowerPoints, you’d both already have a LinkedIn and have the vocabulary and thought process to create a good one. If only our engineers had any brain cells in them :(
Why would you spend your time making useless charts. Make better charts.
Go be a consultant. Those guys live and die by power point.
I’m just going to grab some popcorn… Thank you
