LinkedIn is the largest professional social network on the internet. Employers use LinkedIn to post and promote job openings<\/a>, and job seekers post their profiles and resumes. It\u2019s essential to view your public LinkedIn profile to know what information is visible to people viewing it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employment expert Alison Green of Ask a Manager<\/em> says, \u201cMost employers don\u2019t put a ton of weight on LinkedIn. If you have a profile, they might look at it. If you don\u2019t, it won\u2019t be a big deal.\u201d However, LinkedIn\u2019s greatest value might be the peer-to-peer networking opportunities it facilitates, and for that, your public profile on LinkedIn is important.<\/p>\n\n\n

Public vs. Private LinkedIn Profiles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the difference between a public and private LinkedIn profile? When someone searches for you on LinkedIn or organically comes across your profile, they\u2019ll see your public profile if you\u2019re not part of their network. However, you can customize which details of your profile others can see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In some cases, you can tailor those permissions based on how someone is connected to you. Furthermore, you have limited control over what notifications people in your network will receive when you change your profile.<\/p>\n\n\n
