Optimisation

Does it really matter? Its almost impossible to keep on top of profile optimisation but everyone should ensure that important keywords are found in the following sections;

• Headline
• Job title
• Company name (edit display name)
• Skills

Most importantly you should build a strong network so that most people that might search for you are at least a 2nd tier connection.
