So, based on that, I highly recommend it.

Wow! Very cool. I just really beefed up my profile over the past couple of days including reaching out for more connections, recommendations and including summaries from all my positions, etc. Just curious - do you have your full profile on public display then (with job summaries, etc.)? I really hesitate to do that but just wondering if it will only hurt me if I don't...

I was contacted about a paid speaking gig via LinkedIn (and took it). Based on that, I am beefing up my LinkedIn presence!

PP who received the call based on my LI profile, No, I do not have resume type detail--just my education and job history/companies. Best of luck!
