LinkedIn vanity URL. Below are tips and samples for your reference:
• Your name is bold or one-two font sizes bigger than all other content
• Your email address is professional and current (AOL, Hotmail and Yahoo are considered outdated)
o Example of a POOR email: partyanimal@hotmail.com
• Have a professional voice mail message (without distracting ring back tones)
• Update your LinkedIn profile and include your hyperlinked vanity URL for ease in recruiter accessibility
EDUCATION
