LinkedIn: Additional Sections

Beyond these basics, sections exist for many other specific elements of your background. In most cases, if you have experience that fits in a specific section you should add it in there. If a recruiter is searching for a specific thing LinkedIn will index that search to the specific section that is supposed to house that information. So, for example, while it is beneficial to have your strongest and most related skills mentioned in your About section, they also MUST be in the Skills section to ensure you get noticed. The same holds true for the other unique sections created to help organize your profile like: Volunteering Experience, Languages, Honors and Awards, Courses, etc.
