Hi Jeff, just want to thank you. I watched your videos a day before my interview last week and used CARL. I received an offer today! Also, I am receiving a lot of views, connection invites, and messages from recruiters.. all of these in just a span of two weeks after I updated my LinkedIn profile based on your tips! Now, I have to binge on your productivity vids. 😅 Again, thank you!!

[@teabowww]

Hey Jeff great content as usual! What's your take regarding similar skills on LinkedIn? for ex. related to leadership there is: Leadership | Team Leadership | Cross-Functional Team Leadership >> Should I add all 3? >> What about endorsement then? Should I prioritize one to be endorsed by my network, or spread the endorsement among all 3? Can't find much insight about this and how their search algo will react.

[@JeffSu]

I would pick one if the skills are too similar

This video came at a perfect time. I'm struggling to find a job right now. I currently have over 3 years of experience and the roles that I need to apply for are asking around 3-4 years. I'm not sure what exactly is wrong with my profile or resume but my resume is getting rejected left and right. I'll try to improve my profile using your tricks and update within a few months if I get anything. As always... thanks for this Jeff.

Hi Jeff! Love your stuff and have been sharing with my friends! I am trying to put metrics in my Headline, About and Experience section but I’m worried about repeating myself! I have limited metrics so my key accomplishment is showing up in all 3 and other accomplishment metrics are showing up in my About case study bullet points and in my Experience. I am especially worried the About and Experience section as they now have the same accomplishment metrics and both use the XYZ bullet point formula you recommend. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the video Jeff ! You clearly put much effort !

[@lucaMMXI]

Boy, the tips sure sound helpful but they also sound like precise steps on how to carefully dismantle a bomb. Why does it have to be so complicated? Why are we making it even more complicated? I think the system is rigged. LinkedIn is convoluted to use and rewards the "influencers" who spend hours in a week tweaking their profile down to the last space and dot. If that's the fake game I have to play, I'd rather be content on my unemployment benefits :D

If i wsmt to show it, this would need smth like 20-30 bullet points

[@JeffSu]

Prioritize the most impactful achievements

[@janthevisfilms8204]

Really great video! I always love the "Pro Tip..." parts of your videos ;) One thing I recognised as a video editor: you used a "swoosh" sound effect when you inserted new things. Because I watch all of your videos I recognised that this was a new effect. Two things you can improve here. 1. Turn down the volume of this effect a bit. For one or two times it is ok, but when you insert the effect back-to-back, it gets kind of distracting. 2. The effect goes from right to left, but on the screen the parts where always coming in from left to right. Just adjust the sound effect to what you can see on screen. So when the screen insert is coming from left to right, the sound should also come from left to right and vice versa Hope I could help you with that! Keep up the great work man, love your content!

[@JeffSu]

Wow, thanks for the detailed feedback!

[@stevenger]
