- **[I Hate LinkedIn Profiles Like This...](https://www.jillkonrath.com/sales-blog/bad-linkedin-profiles)** Your LinkedIn profile is NOT a brochure. And it is NOT a resume. It's where prospects go to check YOU out – as a person. They want to know if you can bring them ideas, insights and information that will help them achieve their goals.
