I think I may have a similiar issue as Cathy. I am unable to reorganize any of my education or job positions on my profile. If you are able to do so, would you mind showing us in a video, or perhaps a current work-around until this is fixed? By the way, I really did appreciate the overview in your video. Thanks

Josh, tks for the great video. Question, I try to move around some recommendations like you showed, however, is this only possible when you have the Premium subscription? The system does not allow is for the general subscription.

@JoshGwin 6 жыл бұрын

I don't have a premium subscription Dirk. LinkedIn changes stuff regularly though. What's requiring a premium subscription? Thanks!

HI Josh. Close to signing up with you. What if you have a couple of different ID's that you want to promote EG: IT Marketer and Security Trainer, two very distinct careers but ones that I run in parallel. Is it the norm to have 2 or more ID's on LinkedIN?

@JoshGwin 6 жыл бұрын

I'd promote both. You could say something like "IT Markting | IT Security Trainer | Helping professionals become more proficient at security and marketing in the IT industry."

Hi Josh, so I watched your video in hopes that it would explain how to add the section for Recommendations which is currently not on my profile list, but I don't find it on the "add profile section" listing either, is it a section that is only available for those that pay? My profile only has 3 sections now, experience, endorsements and following. Any help with how to add recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

@JoshGwin 7 жыл бұрын

Do you have recommendations from people yet Sherelle? It probably automatically shows up once you get them. Let me know as I'm curious about this now.

I added some recent volunteer positions, but LinkedIn put them below my oldest volunteer positions where no one will see them, even though the dates are more current. I can't figure out how to move the recent positions to the top. Is it possible to reorder volunteer experience?

Not sure but it would be drag and drop if it is. Please let me know if you are able to do it.

Hi Josh, Big thanks for that video. Could you, please, tell if there is a possibility to run a Company account on LinkedIn? I am a business portrait photographer. We mainly shoot business portraits which often people use as profile pictures on LinkedIn, so we would like to have LinkedIn account to show our work for people here. Do you know if there are any options for us?

@JoshGwin 7 жыл бұрын

Yes, you can Tomasz. You would need to set up a LinkedIn company account from your personal account. It's under your profile picture on the top right of your home tab. Then you can post pictures and links, etc.

Do you now have to upgrade to a premium subscription in order to see the screens you are showing? My goal was to find out how to add media to my profile (which I have done in the past). Now I don't see that option. My edit profile page does not show the same screens as what you are showing.

Dear Josh Gwin, Thank you very much for this very useful vedio. I am facing one issue, on my linked In account I could not found the recommendations section. Can you tell me where I can find this section. Thanks in Advance.

@JoshGwin 7 жыл бұрын

Great question. I believe the recommendations section gets added to your LinkedIn profile automatically once you get your first recommendation. Do you already have recommendations?

@mujahidraza-agriprenurship2950 7 жыл бұрын

I have recently prepared my Linkedin profile i.e. a week ago. So far I do not have any recommendation, how normally it works, I mean, any body can recommend directly in my profile??? or I ask them or give them permission??

@JoshGwin 7 жыл бұрын

I've found the best way to get recommendations is to give them to several people. Then request them from those people. The way @Sasha Anderson recommended is the best way to do it. When on a connections profile in the top box with their profile picture you will see three dots to the right side. Click on this and then select "request a recommendation".

Thank you very much Sasha Andersen and Josh Gwin for the reply...I have already found the option and even received two recommendations from my colleagues....Any ways thanks for support...

Nice Video. Quick Q - Is it possible to re order the sections in linkedIn. Is it something LinkedIn removed recently ?

Great question Anish. LinkedIn removed this as far as I know. I used to do this too but I believe they've taken it away.

What do you need to do if you don't have particular work experience and currently looking for their first job?

@JoshGwin 6 жыл бұрын

Great question. I'd say leverage the skills that you do have from school, internships etc. If you can acquire those skills with an unpaid internship, that's possibly an option. Most job postings are going to have a range of needed skills. Chances are you have some of those already even with no experience. Hope that helps.

@beckyb8929 6 жыл бұрын

I am not sure if you ever got around to letting people know how to edit their profile in private. I think I know how to upload things but I know there's a way to edit "in private" - should have been the first thing you mention. Even though you keep talking about editing, so far haven't mentioned editing in private so everytime you change something, it doesn't get broadcast to your network. Huge important but I am too impatient to wait till the end to find out if you ever mention. Things you are telling us seem kind of obvious....

You can upload a resume on LinkedIn under your summary or experience sections using the add media button. Upload your resume as a pdf file. Or you could upload it to Google drive or Box and just put a link to your resume in your LinkedIn summary. Hope that helps.
