The Ultimate Cheat Sheet on Using LinkedIn Portfolio

Using LinkedIn portfolio has become an addiction for me, the more I use LinkedIn the more I really like it. I use both the desktop version through my browser, and their app on my Android Phone. For me, LinkedIn is all business for me. I post very creative work, but the tone I take on this platform is more of a serious one because it aligns with the majority of people who use this platform. It’s distinctly not Facebook, so I don’t go off on tangents like I might on Facebook and rant. I don’t go off on a goofy nature like I used to do on Twitter @zorayskhalid.
