The more I think about it, the more I am convinced that people should care more about their profiles in business networks rather than anywhere else (including their resume).
So while refreshing my LinkedIn and Xing profiles came the obvious need: “How do I add bullets to my LinkedIn profile?”
Getting Bullets on Your LinkedIn Profile
Actually there is no such thing as “bullet points” within LinkedIn. And you can do no formating. This is all.
Just kidding!
The simplest way to add some new symbols is to copy and paste them from somewhere else. In this case my blog. 🙂
So, just select (highlight) the symbol you want to use, copy it and paste it in LinkedIn. You can copy it by clicking Ctrl-C or right mouse clicking on the highlighted symbol and choosing COPY from the right mouse menu. Paste it by clicking Ctrl-V or right mouse clicking and choosing PASTE from the right mouse menu.
Of course, when pasting in your LinkedIn, you should have clicked on your profile and switched to edit mode.
And here are the symbols:
Stars:
★ ✪ ✯ ✰
Arrows:
☛ ☚ ☜ ☝ ☞ ☟ ⇨ ► ◄ ► »
Traditional bullets:
■ ♦ ◆ ●
Ticks:
✔ ✘ ☐ ☑ ☒
Email:
✉ ✍ ✎ ✏ ✑ ⌨
Phone:
✆ ☎ ☏

♬♪♫ Ѫ ☮ ✈ ♥ ☠ ☊ ☗ ♘ ♝ ☃ ☂ ☁ ☀ ☺
If you really like it Klicki bunti, you can use these to make lines:

Hope you did not turn your profile into a Christmas tree. In fact, I used only two of these.
