I've had conversations with people are sprucing up LinkedIn profiles, and the general pointers are more or less obvious: make sure what you say about yourself is well written, and not just buzzwords and business gibberish. You can show some personality and sense of humor, but don't go overboard. The visual appeal of your profile can count. Try to come up with a banner image that says something, not just a stock photo of a beach or sunset.

Hi, been stuck in the contract analysis/review cycle. I have asked a few recruiters how to make a lateral move into in-house. They told me to focus on contract management, which I have been doing for the past year. Now that I have, are there any sites besides “jobscan” that I can use to make sure my resume fits the job descriptions? Does anybody know any recruiters that could help me, as well?
