LinkedIn has been sharing top buzzwords for six straight years to help local professionals differentiate themselves on its network. “It’s time to rejuvenate your LinkedIn profile to stand out from the competitive crowd, now that the post Chinese New Year recruitment season has started,” said LinkedIn senior director of corporate communications for Asia Pacific.
