LinkedIn continues to add lots of exciting sections so you can highlight your achievements and skills. On your profile page, click the Add Profile Section button to see a list of Featured sections for enhancing your profile, as shown in Figure 3-9. Simply click a section and fill in the appropriate information. In Figure 3-9, I expanded the Featured section, which displays options for adding Posts, Articles, Links, and Media.

As of this writing, LinkedIn has created a Featured part of your profile for uploading the best examples of your skills and previous work. You can find out more about how to utilize the Featured area by going to LinkedIn’s help page at www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/117363.
