QUOTES
“So be very, very wary about disclosing finances or information on your LinkedIn profile that gives away too much information about the company. People can get in trouble for that. So, if there's anything that you feel in doubt, just remove it, especially when it comes to monetary values.” – Mohammed Kasujee
“I think most of the time, it's not the job itself. It's what the job is not allowing them to do.” – Mohammed Kasujee
“The LinkedIn algorithm, as a whole, favors a complete profile. And a banner is an indication of a complete profile as well. So, if anyone does not have a banner, they should definitely have one.” – Mohammed Kasujee
