Have you seen any Driftwood LinkedIn Profiles?
The first step to creating success using LinkedIn is often the last step that many LinkedIn members do. Create a LinkedIn Profile.
According to LinkedIn, only about 50% of all LinkedIn members have complete profiles. The rest are what I refer to as driftwood.
Let me further define what I call a Driftwood LinkedIn Profile:
A LinkedIn Profile that is not built out enough to present the LinkedIn Member appropriately. Typically drift wood LinkedIn Profiles are missing the following information:
- Profile Picture
- Meaningful Headline
- Informative Summary Section
- Completed Experience Section
- Relevant Skills
- Relevant Recommendations
- Current Contact information
Another variation of a drift wood LinkedIn Profile include profiles completely built out, but for the previous job, not their current profile.
Here are a few LinkedIn Profiles I consider drift wood:
- https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopher-e-mccoy-7474ba34/
