Part Two:
Linked in is a great networking tool, as well as a tool that enables you to sell your skills and
share your resume with prospective employers. Because your profile is front-facing and is a
reflection of you and your competence, it must be professional. While setting up your profile,
be mindful of the language you use to represent your skills and competencies, and to
demonstrate your professionalism and ethos.

Once you create your LinkedIn professional profile, take a screenshot of it/share the link, and
on the same document, in 3-4 paragraphs, answer the following questions:

● Why is it important to have an accurate, robust, and professional LinkedIn profile if one
is actively searching for a job or currently working in a professional field?
For both job seekers and professionals actively engaged in their fields, creating a
LinkedIn professional profile is essential. A complete and accurate profile functions as a
digital resume, providing a comprehensive overview of one's skills, experiences, and
accomplishments. It provides a platform for job seekers to showcase their expertise,
increasing visibility to potential employers. For those already working, a well-maintained
profile enhances professional credibility and opens avenues for networking and
collaboration.

● What type of language did you use when creating your profile and why? Give specific
examples and reasons for its usage.
 I used language in my profile that strikes a balance between professionalism and
approachability. For example, in the summary, I emphasized my dedication as an
accounting professional eager to make a positive contribution to the financial world.
Using keywords like "tax liability management" and "IRS correspondence" reflects my
specific skills, making my profile more discoverable to those seeking such expertise. The
language is concise yet descriptive, ensuring that the reader gains a quick understanding
of my capabilities.

● How do your language choices represent your professionalism?

The language choices in my profile convey professionalism by emphasizing
accomplishments and responsibilities. For instance, I emphasized my responsibilities as
a Tax Preparer in the experience area, stressing things like making sure tax rules are
followed and lowering audit risks. These specifics offer a clear picture of my
contributions and skills. Additionally, maintaining a respectful and engaging tone in
interactions and endorsements reinforces a professional image.

● How will you use your profile to help with future networking of your skills and
education?
I intend to use my LinkedIn profile for networking by actively engaging with industry-
related content, joining relevant groups, and connecting with professionals in my field.
By sharing insights, participating in discussions, and seeking recommendations, I hope
to establish a strong network that not only reflects my skills and education but also
opens doors to new opportunities and collaborations.
