Showcase your volunteer experience on LinkedIn

Good afternoon, VIP program!  There's some exciting new news about LinkedIn, the social networking site for professionals.

LinkedIn built itself on its platform that allows participants to showcase their education and work experience in a way that is suitable for interaction in the professional world.  The latest addition to the site includes the ability to add volunteer experience and causes to your profile.

If you are or were an AmeriCorps member, this is a great opportunity to showcase your year of service in the professional realm.  Many employers are looking for people who are passionate and committed - and what better way to show that than through your dedicated AmeriCorps term of service?

Serving your community or country, whether it is through AmeriCorps or anywhere else, is something to be proud of - so go ahead, display it on your profile!
