Showcasing Work Experience on LinkedIn
Ma Hnin works as a Marketing Executive at a local FMCG distributor in Yangon, earning 450,000 MMK per month. She has been there two years, managed three product launches, and grown the company's Facebook page from 8,000 to 62,000 followers. But her LinkedIn experience section reads: 'Marketing Executive at ABC Distribution. Responsible for marketing activities.' Last month, a regional MNC posted a Brand Manager role at 1,200,000 MMK. The recruiter searched LinkedIn, found 40 Myanmar marketing professionals, shortlisted 6 who showed clear results on their profiles, and never saw Ma Hnin. Her skills were enough. Her profile was not.
