Episode 5: 21 Essential Business Idioms Part 2

I contend your LinkedIn Profile is even more important than your resume. Why? For starters, your LinkedIn profile is more robust than your resume. You can add multimedia, join professional organizations, list more accomplishments, among other features. More importantly, you can display others' recommendations for you and their endorsements, which carry more weight. It’s also something that is dynamic and shows what you’re doing now. You can use it daily and leave a digital footprint, all while building your personal brand. It’s the living, breathing version of your resume. Finally, when you apply for jobs through LinkedIn, the person viewing your application will see a breakdown of how your profile aligns with the job description, including your skills. While you have limited space on a resume to list your skills, you can incorporate keywords throughout your profile as well as in your Skills & Endorsements profile section. Plus, when you apply for jobs with a Premium LinkedIn account, you can see how you compare to other candidates and how many people have applied. In some cases, applying won’t be worth your time.

In this Express to Impress Podcast episode, you will learn how to write about yourself on LinkedIn so that recruiters and employers discover you. You'll learn common mistakes and how to correct them, so you write a LinkedIn Profile that stands out. Specifically, you'll learn how to write a keyword-rich headline and summary, choose the right professional profile photo, and select skills to feature in the Skills & Endorsements section. At the end of the episode, you'll learn definitions for English idioms and phrases.

How to Write a LinkedIn Profile That Stands Out

神戸探索

中国出身のセイさんと神戸を探索しました。

北野坂という西洋の建物がある地域から始まって、
中心地の三宮、そして、海が見えるメリケンパーク、最後には麻辣湯という自分で食材を選んで厨房で料理してもらうスープを食べました。


I explored Kobe with Sei, who is from China.

We started in Kitanozaka, an area with Western-style buildings, then moved to the central district of Sannomiya, followed by Meriken Park with its sea view. Finally, we enjoyed Mala Tang, a soup where you select your own ingredients, which are then cooked in the kitchen.

我在中国
去年，我在中国的一所学校工作，才过了一个月，就很想家了。因为想家，我很难过，总是哭。学生们常常问我：“老师，你怎么了？生病了吗”。我告诉他们“我想爸爸妈妈，也想男朋友了。”
几个月后，我认识了一个中国女孩儿。我们一起在学校门口租房子。她的朋友都对我很热情。我们常常一起逛街、看电影、散步、去很多地方旅游。和她们在一起，我能练习中文，学习做中国菜。
有一天，爸爸妈妈给我打电话。他们问我“你现在怎么样？还是很想家吗？还会每天哭吗？”“不，我喜欢这个城市；我喜欢我的朋友；我喜欢我的中国生活”。

My life in China

가끔은, 우리가 세운 ‘큰 목표’들이 영감을 주기보단 오히려 지치게 만들 때가 있죠.
이번 에피소드에서는 그런 순간에 대해 이야기합니다.
좋은 목표를 세웠는데 이상하게 동기부여는 금세 사라지고, 계획 세우는 나와 실행하는 내가 따로 노는 느낌. 
다들 느껴 보신 적 있으시죠?

You know that moment when your goals feel so big,
they stop inspiring you and start exhausting you instead?
This episode is about that.
