[Promo] promo: Back to Basics Tuesday LinkedIn grammar lesson

[Marc W. Halpert]

Back to Basics Tuesday: the Oxford comma: mind your P's, Q's, and R's!

Warning: I am about to get nerdy here. 

To my friends, fellow blog readers, and grammar geeks:

I urge you to read, evaluate, and adopt consistent usage of the Oxford comma
on your LinkedIn profile.

Not to use it every so often, or irregularly, or in one section but not
another.

Because? Well, people evaluate your LinkedIn profile, make an impression,
and can get really granular, like noticing typos, or spotting
inconsistencies, or worse, discarding you as a contender, a prospect, or a
partner because of lack of attention to detail. You're always, ever, and
constantly being evaluated for attention to detail.

As you can see in this

Make your case, be consistent in your message, and contemporary in your
grammar, style, and syntax.

Please, please, and please use the yellow pencil above.

 

Thanks in advance,
