Your LinkedIn profile tells your story
To give an impression about who you are, what you care about, what you stand for, you need a complete and accurate LinkedIn profile. Put some thought into what you want to achieve. Say you are very active for a political party or church. This appeals to like minded spirits. It can also scare people off. Is that a bad thing? Have a think about this. If you don’t want to scare people off based on your beliefs, leave them out. Do you prefer to only meet and work with people who share your beliefs … then use your profile for a natural selection.
