Looking for new jobs. Is it acceptable to put project details on your LinkedIn? Fully sanitized obviously but does it look like bad form? Can I put in dollar amounts of savings, etc.?

I don't see an issue with it. I have savings range examples on my LinkedIn, just keep it high level enough. For example "Negotiated an average of 45% savings across 12 projects in Category X"

I would do it. Impact catches eyes.

High-level project details and impact is fine. Just avoid clients names and/or identifying details (e.g., improved supply chain efficiency for a large company HQed in Bentonville, AR).

ACN2 - how's good ol s&p doing at ACN these days? I miss it but truth be told it's the same everywhere when projects don't sell you are benching. Worse that you can't work in cross industry if you are aligned to one even if there is work elsewhere under s&p. When they get it together and bring it back as a central function I'm coming back :p

I don't put anything on LinkedIn

I haven't yet but now that I'm laid off and have seen advice to really beef up the LinkedIn profile, trying to figure out the way to go

I'd like to know as well. I feel like it'll give more weight

@a2 that sounds like a good strategy

Sorry to hear that OP, good luck. Yes, it is different if you are looking for opportunities.

Sorry to hear about the layoff, I would definitely beef up your profile then. I'd also recommend getting the 30 day trial of LinkedIn Premium if you don't already have it.

Where are you located OP? If you're looking for something in Sourcing or Category Management I have some recruiter contacts at Accenture.

Thanks for the answers guys, very helpful. And @a2 thanks so much for offering- I'm in NYC but haven't had any experience in those arwas

What about tips for updating your resume? One section for each engagement or one section for KPMG highlighting multiple engagements? Any help would be appreciated!

.

@k1 I have the latter but it's the biggest section in my resume. Has worked well so far.

I think it's fine but don't think it makes much of a difference to be honest. You're probably fine just making sure your profile is visible and up to date with the firm you're at.

@D2 - haha definitely agree with you. I got out of it for a bit until everything got settled. With the Procurian acquisition it got a lot stronger and you are not benched often since you're typically allocated across multiple clients at a time.

I quit. I was respectful.

If they actually cared, why didn't they say so sooner? I gave so much, and I was consumed by this organization. I invested in them, but my investment and dedication were not reciprocated, which is why I ever even entertained leaving. I don't know why it hurts, but it really, really does.
