Add Pizzazz To Your LinkedIn Profile With Symbols

Here’s the answer to another question I’ve been asked this month.

Question

Where do you get the symbols you use in your title on LinkedIn and throughout your LinkedIn profile?

Answer

I use symbols and lines and such because it differentiates different sections of my profile and makes a profile easier to read. And we all want our profiles read, right?

I gathered those symbol since 2004 from a variety of places online. You have my AOK to copy and paste the symbols and use them on your profile, too. Here’s my profile www.LinkedIn.com/in/mariamarsala

You can create them, too. When you’re on your computer, open a document, you hit control >alt and some numbers, you’ll create a few of them the old fashioned way! They way we used to create them in the early 1990’s.

Symbols are also available by going to MS Word, then change the font to one of the Wingdings. Use the symbols you want and then copy the symbol to your LinkedIn profile.

Lastly, you can use the cheat sheet I use nowadays at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miscellaneous_Symbols
