Your LinkedIn Profile is about helping you get found: It is an Inbound Marketing tool. That’s why it’s important to connect the dots with your past as much as possible to allow as many people from your past to find you – and for you to be able to find them. Don’t stop at your current employer: Go back in history and fill in every employer you’ve ever worked for and educational institution you’ve attended. I go as far back as high school on my own profile, and even include short-term study abroad programs – which have helped me restore old ties with valued professionals in my network.
