Mistake #9 – Ignoring the Summary
Just like the objective is an important section of a résumé, or at least it used to be, the summary is an important part of your LinkedIn profile. Sure, the objective may have gone out of fashion, but the summary is a vital component on LinkedIn.
Look at it this way. People are incredibly busy. They don’t have time to delve headfirst into every single profile and read word for word. They check the summary first to see if there might be a good fit for their purposes. If there is no summary, they may just move on without a second look.
