## Introduction

LinkedIn is one of the most popular social media sites in the world. It is a professional networking site that allows you to connect with other professionals in your industry.

In this article, we are going to discuss the top LinkedIn writing strategies to boost your profile. These strategies will help you write a professional profile that will get you noticed by recruiters and hiring managers. We are also going to look at some of the top mistakes that people make when it comes to writing a LinkedIn profile. By the end of this article you will have a better understanding of what it takes to write a great LinkedIn profile and you will be able to use this knowledge to write your own LinkedIn profile in the future.

## 1. Write a Profile that Tells a Story

Your LinkedIn profile is an opportunity to tell a story about who you are and what you have accomplished. You should write a profile that tells a story of who you have been and who you want to be. This means that your profile should be written in such a way that it highlights your skills and accomplishments. It also means that you should write about the experiences you have had that have shaped you into the professional that you are today. For example, if you are a web developer, you should talk about the projects that you have worked on and the challenges that you overcame. If you are an accountant, you can talk about how you have helped your clients with their tax returns. You can even talk about your hobbies and interests. The point is that your LinkedIn profile should tell the story of the person that you want people to see when they search for you on LinkedIn. If your profile doesn’t tell this story, it will not get you the attention that you need.

If you are having trouble coming up with a story for your profile, here are some questions to ask yourself:

– What are the things that I am most proud of in my professional career?

– How have these accomplishments shaped me into the person I am today?

Once you have an idea of what you want your profile to be about, it is time to start writing it. The first thing that you will want to do is to make sure that your headline and summary are compelling. Your headline is the first part of your profile that people will see and it will determine whether or not they click on your profile or not. Your summary is the second part of the profile and it is the part that people are most likely to read. The summary should be no longer than 150 words and it should tell your story in a compelling way. Here are some examples of headlines and summaries that you can use as inspiration for your own profile:

– Headline: “I’m an experienced web developer who has worked on a variety of projects.”

– Summary: I’ve worked on projects that have helped my clients achieve their business goals. I can help you achieve the same success with your web development projects.

“I am a Certified Public Accountant and I have been working in the accounting industry for the past 10 years. I have worked with small businesses and Fortune 500 companies. I know how to get the most out of your tax returns and how to help you make the most of your business’s financial situation. I am looking for a new challenge and I would love the opportunity to work with you on your next tax return!”

Once your profile has a compelling headline and a compelling summary, you are ready to write the rest of the content. The best way to write this content is to use the “tell a story” approach that we discussed in the previous section. Here is an example of how you can write your profile using this approach:

I am a certified public accountant who has spent the last 10 years working with small and medium-sized businesses. As a result of my experience, I am able to provide my clients with the best advice and the best solutions to their financial problems. I would be honored to be considered for a position with your company and I look forward to working with you to achieve your business goals!

This is a great example of a professional LinkedIn profile because it tells a compelling story about the person you are. It talks about your experience, your accomplishments, and the skills that you bring to the table. This is what people are looking for when they are searching for a professional on LinkedIn and this is why it is so important to make your profile stand out from the crowd.

## 2. Write About Your Skills and Accomplishments

The next step in writing your profile is to write about your skills. Your skills are the tools that you use in your professional career and they are the reason that people should want to hire you. Your profile is a chance for you to talk about these skills and how you use them to help your clients.

Here are some things to keep in mind when you are writing your skills section:

– Your skills section should be about what you can do for your clients, not what you think your clients should do for you.

## Background and Significance

Significance of the Study: This study is aimed at finding out why students must improve their writing skills while still in university. The main objective of the study is to find out the factors that affect the writing skills of the students while they are still in the university. This study will help the students to improve their academic writing skills. It will also help the university to improve the quality of the academic writing of its students.

This study is a part of the research work of the first author of this book. This book is the result of a research work that was conducted in the Department of English, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. The research work was conducted under the supervision of the second author of the book. The first author has been working as a Lecturer in the English Department of the University. The second author is a Ph.D. candidate in English Language and Literature at the same University. Both the authors have been conducting research work in the field of English language and literature for quite some time. They have also been teaching English to the undergraduate students of the university for the last few years. They are also the members of the English Language Association of Bangladesh (ELAB).

The research work has been conducted from the year 2010 to 2013. During that period, the research team has collected data from a number of undergraduate students. The data has been collected through the questionnaires. The questionnaires were distributed to the students by the first and the second authors. The students were asked to fill the questionnaire on their own. The questionnaire was designed in such a way that it would help the researchers to collect data from the students in a better way. It was also designed in a way so that the students would be able to fill it easily. The questions in the questionnaire were based on the research findings of the previous studies that were conducted on the same topic. The results of those studies were also used to design the questions of the questionnaire in this research work. In addition to the questionnaire, the researchers have also collected the data through the interviews. The interviews were conducted with the help of the lecturers of the Department. The purpose of the interviews was to collect the opinions of the faculty members about the students’ academic writing. The faculty members were also asked to give their opinions about the reasons why the students should be encouraged to write better academic papers while they were still in their university.

Academic Writing: Academic writing is the writing that is required to be written in the academic papers. It is the kind of writing that a student must write while he or she is studying in a university or college. The academic writing is different from the other kinds of writing such as the creative writing and the non-academic writing. In academic writing, the students are required to write about the subjects that they are studying in their college or university. They must write about these subjects in a proper way. The kind of academic writing that they have to write is the research paper. This is the type of paper that they must write in order to get their degree. In order to write a good research paper, they must have a good command over the English language. The English language is the language that is used to write the research papers. In this book, the term academic writing will be used to refer to the writing of research papers in English. The term research paper will also be used as a synonym for academic writing in this book for the sake of convenience. The terms research paper and academic writing are also used interchangeably in the literature of the discipline of English literature and language. In the literature, the terms academic writing and research paper are also referred to as the academic essay and the research essay, respectively. The difference between the two types of papers is that a research paper is written to get a degree whereas an academic essay is written for the purpose of learning. In other words, an academic paper is a paper that is written with the intention of getting a degree. An academic essay, on the other hand, is a piece of writing written to learn a particular subject. For example, if a student wants to learn about the history of the United States, the student will write an essay on that subject. The student will not write a paper to get his or her degree.

## INTRODUCTION

This book is about how to write a model bio. A model bio is a written summary of the author’s qualifications, experience, and accomplishments. Model bios are an important part of the application process for many academic programs, including graduate programs in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, veterinary medicine, and other health-related fields. They can also be a valuable addition to your résumé and LinkedIn profile.

The purpose of this book is to provide you with the information you need to write an effective model bio that will help you to stand out from the crowd and get you into the school of your dreams. This book is not intended to be a comprehensive guide to writing model bios. Rather, it is designed to give you the basic information you will need to get started. Once you have read this book, you will be able to write your own model bios, and you will have a good idea of what to include and what not to include in your bio. You will also have a better idea of how to structure your bio to make it as effective as possible. You can use this book as a guide to help you write your model bio, or you can use it as a reference to refer back to when you are writing your own bio. Whichever way you use it, this book will be of great value to you as you prepare to apply to medical school, dental school, pharmacy school, veterinary school, or any other school that requires you to submit a written model bio in order to be considered for admission to the school.

## APPENDIX: SAMPLE MODEL BIO SAMPLES

Here are some sample model bios that have been written by students who have gone through the process of applying to medical, dental, and veterinary schools. These model bios have been submitted to the schools to which they were applying, and they have been successful in getting into the schools of their choice. The model bios included in this appendix have been edited to remove any identifying information that could be used to identify the student who wrote the bio, such as the student’s name or school. They have also been edited for readability, so they are written in a style that is easy to read and understand. If you would like to use any of these model bios in your own application, you are welcome to do so, as long as you do not alter them in any way and do not claim them as your own.

## WHY WRITE A MODEL BIOGRAPHY?

If you have ever applied to a school, you have probably received an application package in the mail that included a cover letter, a resume, a statement of purpose, and, of course, the application itself. The cover letter is the first thing you will read when you open the application package, and the cover letter will set the tone for the rest of the package. It is important that your cover letter makes a good first impression on the admissions committee, so it is essential that you write a good cover letter. The same is true for your model bios and other written materials that you submit with your application. You want to make a great first impression when you submit your application materials, so you should take the time to make sure that you have written a great cover letter and model bio for each school to which you are applying. In this chapter, we will discuss why you should write model bios for your applications, what you should include in them, and how you should structure them. We will also discuss some of the things that you should avoid when writing your bio, so that you can avoid common mistakes that many applicants make when writing their model bios or other application materials. Finally, we’ll look at some model bios from students who went through the medical school application process, and we’ll show you how they were able to get into medical school and become doctors. We hope that you will use the information in this chapter to write the best model bio you can for each of the schools you apply to, and that the model bios you use in your applications will be a great help in getting you into your dream schools.

## ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Writing this book has been a great experience for me, and I am grateful to all the people who have helped me along the way. First and foremost, I would like thank my family for their unwavering support and encouragement. I would especially like to thank my mother, who encouraged me to pursue my dream of becoming a doctor, and my father, who has always been there for me whenever I needed him. I also want to thank all my friends and family members who have supported me in my quest to become a doctor. I am especially grateful to my mentors, who have taught me so much about the medical field and who have inspired me to become the best doctor I can be. Thank you to all of my teachers and professors at the University of California, Davis, School of Medicine, especially Drs. Robert J. Coughlin, Jr., and David A. Smith, for teaching me how to think like a physician and for encouraging me to follow my dreams. I’m also grateful for the guidance and support I’ve received from my mentors at the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) Foundation and the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME).

I would also like to express my gratitude to my agent, Michael Carlisle, for believing in me and for giving me the opportunity to write this book. I couldn’t have asked for a better agent, and it has been an absolute pleasure to work with him.

Finally, I’d like to acknowledge the following people for their help in putting this book together:

My editor at McGraw-Hill/Osborne/McGill-Hill, Dr. Anne Cushman, for her patience and for helping me to make this book the best that it could be. I could not have written this book without her help and guidance, and she has made this a much better book than it would have been if I had written it on my own. My project editor, Ms. Jennifer Fink, for all of her help in making this book a reality. My copy editor, Mr.

Writing a book description can be one of the trickiest parts of writing a book.

It’s important to get it right, because it’s the first thing a potential reader will see when they search for your book on a bookstore’s website or in a search engine. It’s also a great way to introduce your book to potential readers who might not know anything about you or your book, but who are interested in finding out more about you and your book.

When you write your book description, keep these points in mind:

– Your book description should be clear and concise.

– It should be written in the third person, not in the first person, unless you’re writing from the point of view of a character in your book (in which case, you can use first person).

## Writing a Book Description That’s Clear and Concise

The best way to write a clear, concise book description is to write it in a way that makes it easy for a reader to understand what your book is about and why they might want to read it. Here are some things to keep in mind when writing a clear book description that’s easy to understand:

A book description isn’t the place to tell your readers about your book’s plot, characters, setting, or themes. You don’t want to give away too much information about the book before you’ve actually written it. If you do, you run the risk of your readers not wanting to read your book because they know too much about it before they’ve even started reading it!

If you want to talk about the plot or characters of your book in your description, do it in the context of how they’re going to affect the story. For example, if you’re talking about how the main character’s relationship with his mother is going to play out in the story, you could say something like this: “In the course of the book, the main characters are going to have to deal with their relationship with their mother.”

Keep in mind that you don’t have to write the entire book description before you start writing the book. You can write the description as you’re working on the first draft of the manuscript. That way, you’ll have a clear idea of what you want the book to be about, and you’ll be able to use the book description as a guide to help you write the rest of the description when you get to that point in the writing process. (For more information on writing a first draft, check out Book I, Chapter 3.)

If you’re having trouble figuring out what to write about in the description, think about the most important elements of your story. What do you want readers to know about your characters, your setting, your plot, and your themes? If you can come up with an answer to that question, you’re on your way to writing a great book description.

## Writing a Good Title

One of the first things a reader sees when they look at a book’s cover is the title. If the title doesn’t grab their attention, they’re likely to put the book down and move on to the next book in their stack. If, on the other hand, the title grabs their attention and makes them want to pick up the book and read it, they’ll be more likely to buy the book than if they didn’t even see the title on the cover at all. So it’s important that you write a good book title. In this chapter, I show you how to do just that.

You can’t write a book without a title. A title is the name that you give to your book so that people know what it’s about and can find it when they want to buy it. A good title can make or break the sale of a book, so you need to make sure that you choose one that’s going to grab the attention of potential readers and get them to buy your book instead of the one next to it on the bookstore shelf. This chapter gives you tips on how to create a good, searchable book title and how to avoid common mistakes that other authors make when they write their book titles.

What is an Essay Hook?

A good hook fulfills two main purposes. One is that it sets the tone for the essay by informing the reader about the topic. The second is that it creates a compelling introduction that entices the reader to read on at length.

First, it is important to have a clear vision in mind of the literary work you have selected for your paper. Here you need to describe what a certain essay type demands and what types of techniques you require to support your arguments in your essay.

Always create an essay outline to see how the information can be organized better and which points need to be highlighted. Try to find an attention grabber that adds to the significance of that point.

Know your target audience and choose a way in which you want to develop your work. Your hook statement should be according to it. If you are writing for children, write in simple language. If you are writing for professionals, take the specific language into account.

Choose hooks that fit your paper. Know the type of essay you are writing and its purpose. You can go for funny hooks if you are writing a paper on a light topic. If you are writing a conference paper, then you should be more formal.

Hook Sentence Examples

Question Hook

You can grab the reader’s attention by asking them an intriguing question, that they would want to know the answer to. When posing a question, think about the interest of the reader and the things they would want to learn more about.

Avoid making your question generalized or simple Yes or No questions. For instance, asking a general question such as “Do you watch television?” won’t grab their attention and make them think it over.

Question Hook Example

Anecdote

Anecdote Hook Example

Quotes

Another popular type of essay hook is quotations. You can quote famous people to create a compelling start to your essay. Here you use quotes to explain your topic and its relevance to the idea of your paper.

Quotation Hook Example

Personal Story

Personal Story Hook Example

Description Hook

This hook is a vivid description of a scene or event to draw readers’ attention to your writing. A well-written descriptive hook will make your readers want to know more about what is in the rest of your paper.

Description Hook Essay Example

“Yesterday morning I watched my brother leave the house with a vibrant mark of toothpaste gleaming on his right chin. I was enjoying seeing him like that until he stepped out of the house…”

Metaphor/Simile Hook

The metaphor/simile hook is used to help readers think about a particular topic in a different way. Your readers will think about the meaning and the context in which the topic is being addressed.

Metaphor/Simile Hook Example

Literary Quotes

When writing book reviews, it is often a good idea to use literary quotes. However, it is important to keep in mind that these quotes may not be appropriate for use in persuasive or expository essays.

Scenes

We remember visual information more efficiently than words. When we see something, our brains quickly turn it into a picture. Scenes are often used in descriptive or narrative essays.

Scene Hook Example

💬 The Famous Quote Hook

Use a famous quote as a hook for your essay on history, literature, or even social sciences. It will present you as an established writer. It shows how knowledgeable you are and motivates the readers to engage in the text.

Political Science

Hilary Clinton once said that “there cannot be true democracy unless women’s voices are heard.” Which creates a discussion about how perfect democracy should look like. If it is a form of government that considers all opinions, why are women silenced so often even nowadays? The truth is that we need to ensure completely equal opportunities for women in politics before we talk about establishing the correct version of democracy. And even the most developed and progressive countries are still struggling to get to that level of equality. It can be achieved by various methods, even though they might only work in certain countries.

And even the most developed and progressive countries are still struggling to get to that level of equality. It can be achieved by various methods, even though they might only work in certain countries.

Social Sciences

“Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.” These words of wisdom from John Kennedy reflect the perspective we need to teach the younger generations. For some reason, it has become popular to blame the government for any problem arising in society. Is it their fault that we don’t think about waste and keep trashing our home? Social responsibility is a real thing. The well-being of our countries starts with the actions of every separate individual. It is not entirely right to wait until the government fixes all the issues for us. The best strategy is to start thinking about what we can do as a community to make our home even a better place.

❓ Rhetorical Question Essay Hooks

It doesn’t have to be rhetorical – any type of question addressed to your audience will do its job. Such a universal kind of hook can spike the interest of your readers immediately.

Education

Wouldn’t free access to education for everyone be wonderful? The answer would most likely be positive. However, it is not as simple as it seems. As much as the governments try to achieve this goal, there are still many uneducated people. On the bright side, in the era of technology, learning has never been so easy. Of course, some young adults just prefer the shortcut option of taking a student loan. Other ways are much more challenging and require a lot of responsibility and patience. Finding free educational resources online and gaining experience with the help of video tutorials might sound unprofessional. Still, you will be surprised how many experts hired in different fields only received this type of education.

Health

Is there anything that can help you lose weight fast? You have probably heard of this magical keto diet that is getting more and more popular worldwide. People claim that it helps them shred those excess pounds in unbelievably short terms. But how healthy is it, and does it suit anyone? The truth is that no diet is universal, and thanks to our differences, some weight-loss methods can even be harmful. Keto diet, for example, leads your body into the state of ketosis. What happens is that you don’t receive carbohydrates, and in this state, fat is used as the primary source of energy instead them. However, it carries potential threats.

Health Crisis

By the age of 14, my mild health issues evolved beyond nuisances, and by the age of 19, they grew debilitating. I was brushed off by every doctor who either told me, “There is nothing actually wrong with you” or “it is all in your head.”

Living 20 years with no answers, going in and out of the hospital sometimes numerous times a week, and the constant gaslighting by the medical community was very destabilizing and isolating. The loss of support over time from family and friends who started to believe I was neurotic or a hypochondriac felt crushing.

My disease is rare, complex, and hard to pin down. I do believe doctors at times tried to help but often gave up. Others doctors did not even give me a chance and brushed me off almost immediately when they could not figure me out and I was not a simple patient. Real doctors don’t like a good mystery like they do in the show “Grey’s Anatomy.”

Choose a Business Structure

Successful business owners understand the importance of choosing the right business structure. The type of business you’re starting will dictate the legal structure you should choose. This will further determine the legal and financial liability of your business. The most common business structures include sole proprietorships, partnerships, limited liability companies (LLCs), and corporations.

Sole Proprietorship

Partnership

A partnership is a business structure that involves two or more people. Before we delve deeper into how to become a part-owner of a business, we should explain that partnerships can be either general or limited. In a general partnership, all partners are equally liable for the debts and obligations of the business. In a limited partnership, there is at least one partner who has unlimited liability and one or more partners who have limited liability.

A limited liability company (LLC) is a business structure that offers personal liability protection to its owners. LLCs can be either single-member LLCs (owned by one person) or multi-member LLCs (owned by two or more people). Choose one of the top-rated LLC services and outsource LLC formation and ongoing compliance to experienced agents.

Corporation

Finally, if you’ve been wondering how to become a business owner within a corporation, you should get familiar with what a corporation is. A corporation is a business structure that offers limited liability protection to its shareholders. Corporations can be either for-profit or nonprofit. Additionally, an S corporation is a special type of corporation that offers tax benefits to its shareholders.

Do I Need A Business Degree To Start My Own Business?

Many business owners find it better to learn from practical experience. The cost of attending a UK university is very high these days, and students who hope to be entrepreneurs one day consider skipping college altogether.

Sure, a university degree isn’t necessary to be a business owner, but there, you will learn things like time management, ownership, accountability, and prioritising. It will also help you grow emotionally.

As a student, this is the time where you can make mistakes without them ruining your life. As you study, you grow in your ability to learn and reason. If you aren’t emotionally mature, you aren’t going to be very successful in business.

learning financial management skills analytics

Technically, you don’t need a college education to start a business, but you might want one. If you don’t know much about business operations or what it takes to start a business, a few college courses can be beneficial.

Most young people don’t have a nest egg to put up the capital to start a business. If you have any chance of starting a business, you will need a source of income to pay your bills and save the capital to get your business going.

You can, however, start your business and take a course or two at a time. This will allow you to give your business the attention that it needs while learning the necessary skills to make your business a success.

Every person is different and everyone’s situation is different. If you have time to wait to start your business, by all means, attend college full-time. if not, you can find a college schedule that will allow you to have it all.

Freelance tips

The gig economy enables income opportunities that once seemed like pipe dreams. Technology has not only mobilized workers with remote tools, but it has also changed how we all work together. Mobility and connectivity have forever changed how people interact, and the same communication advances have seen businesses evolve as well.

Today, almost anyone can embark on a freelance career, but to be successful, one needs to identify a marketable skill set. Luckily, there is no shortage of freelancer-friendly work categories. From coding to marketing copywriting, businesses are increasingly looking to outsource many tasks for short and longer-term projects.

Often, freelancers interact with full-time resident employees in a hybrid team setting. Since more companies are becoming comfortable with bringing different types of workers together in a virtual team environment, remote work freelance growth opportunities will only continue to grow.

What Is Freelancing?

Freelancing is done on a project-by-project or contract-by-contract basis by a professional who isn’t employed full-time by the person or company paying for their services. Freelancers are typically paid on an hourly or project basis, and freelance work can be done from almost anywhere, making it a flexible career option for remote workers. Freelancing offers workers the flexibility to decide how much or how little work they want to do in a given period, so it can be a full-time or part-time source of income.

What Is a Freelance Job?

A freelance job is one where a person is self-employed instead of working for a company or other organization. Freelance jobs are often contracted jobs where the freelancer will work on specific projects for different organizations.

Why choose freelance over traditional jobs?

Better earning potential

A freelance job has bigger earning potential if you are motivated. It’s simple: work hard, earn more. You can decide how many projects to take on in a month and how much money you’d like to make.

Unlike traditional jobs, freelancers have the power to say no to gigs. But be mindful of why you are saying no. Is it because the project is a waste of your professional time or are you feeling lazy? Saying no often could mean that you’ll get fewer part-time offers of work.

Quicker professional growth

Freelancers are able to adjust or improve their skill set, making them adaptable and able to work in many different professional areas of expertise. Being well-versed in multiple professional areas can also mean a fatter paycheque. A lot of freelancers take the time to update their skill sets. There are many educational resources available online, both free and paid. Find out which skills are high in demand and which job sectors are hot right now.

Work from anywhere

Aside from having a flexible schedule, freelancing allows you to work from anywhere. Think of all the money you can save by not having to commute. Having a flexible schedule can also mean a healthier lifestyle, with time to exercise, cook and eat healthier with regular or semi-regular mealtimes. Bonus: there isn’t much need to get dressed for work.

Extra income streams

Freelancing also allows you to build passive income streams. If your website gets numerous hits, for example, try selling ad space or a members-only section. Offer e-courses sharing your expertise in one or more professional areas. The more creative freelancers can create a paid podcast series, ebooks, or vlogs.

Low-risk employment

Remember that there’s no harm in trying to freelance, whether it’s a necessary move or simply extra work to make extra money. The risks of freelancing are minimal and if you enjoy the freelance way of working, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t do it full-time.

Web Freelance Tips – Get organized

I’ve always been a big advocated of the importance of being organized. For me, organization is one of the core skills needed to succeed as a freelance web professional. Clients will be impressed by freelancers who show great organizational skills, and a lack of organization is often the demise and cause of failure for many unsuccessful freelancers.

The key to getting organized is to keep records of all your work and work diligently to schedules. This includes keeping daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly schedules, making a habit of keeping an updated calendar, using a to do list, and setting reminders to make sure you keep on top of your work and don’t miss deadlines.

To make life easier there are some really great tools out there for keeping organized. It’s worth testing out several different apps and software and try to find those which best fit your needs and lifestyles.
