How to Add Bullets to a LinkedIn Profile
Formatting a list of your key skills or past employment with bullet points in a LinkedIn professional profile can make the information easier to read. LinkedIn does not include a text editor with formatting and style capabilities, so you will need to create the information in Microsoft Word on your computer and copy and paste the bullets into your LinkedIn profile.
