LinkedIn for Developers

Every developer should have an up-to-date LinkedIn profile.

Here're a few of LI profile maintenance tips:

Update your Profile

It's been a while since I updated my profile. I removed these:
  • Salesforce.com Consulting
  • Marionette.js
  • RRDTool
  • UML
  • SOAP
  • DB2
  • Websphere
  • SOA
and added these:
  • Functional Programming
  • Cloud Computing
  • Blockchain
  • Cryptocurrency
  • Protocol Buffers
  • SSL Certificates
  • Payment Systems
  • Bash

It's not that I forgot how to build an IBM Websphere app, how to use SOAP or how to build a Salesforce app ... I simply have no interest in doing those things again!



Turn off your Activity Broadcasts

.. Unless, of course, you want folks to know!

When you make a change to your profile, your contacts will be notified on their news feed. Even after doing something as simple as correcting a typo.

Don't annoy your contacts if you're making a lot of profile changes. They won't thank you, but you will avoid pissing them off.

Ask for Endorsements

Folks generally appreciate your thinking of them and are happy to help.

  4. Cryptocurrency is a type of digital currency made so that people could safely buy and sell things online using the cryptocurrency app development. It was a big hit, and people liked it all over the world. When it comes to making apps for cryptocurrencies, Apptunix is the best. We have a lot of experience making good cryptocurrency apps for phones and the web.
