re: Updating LinkedIn Profile

Unless you are already job searching or your current job will involve people snooping your LinkedIn profile then leave the coursework off.
If you were involved in anything above and beyond, say Honors Student (or whatever grad school calls it), research projects, internships, awards etc then put that on there.
Or get a prof or two to right you a recommendation.
Depending on whatever field you are in go join some associations or get some certs, and always more recommendations from colleagues, supervisors, or clients.
If you are in a field where LinkedIn means something then maximize it over the next few years.
Most people don't give two shits about LinkedIn though.

I say no. It’s not a good look. Just put the degree obtained from which school and when. Honors and awards are ok but listing coursework just sounds like filling space.

If you have a job you like, I wouldn’t put a lot of time into Linkedin.
And if you’re unemployed and looking for a job, I wouldn’t put a lot of time into Linkedin.

Yes, I have a profile. Have had one since college. Never got anything from it, even when I was actively job searching.

It's alright if you're actively looking. Though I didn't find my current job there, I did find a job for which I eventually received a FT offer, which forced my current employer to offer me a better compensation package.

I only stay on LinkedIn because of the slutty recruiters.

The people who haven’t had success using LI, do you have a complete, polished profile? It doesn’t make sense why someone wouldn’t get some hits through the platform if they are using the tool correctly and have marketable skills.

I'd guess it depends on your field. In my field, it's probably the main way to land gigs.

Just a quick synopsis (like 3-4 sentences) of your coursework but not a bulleted list or anything.
Posted on 2/20/18 at 10:20 am to Buttermilk Pancakes
Post your profile here so we can review it.

In all my decades of interviews I have never once asked about coursework.
Now I am sure there are a few professions such as Academic where this pertinent.

I would say this is accurate. My current job was through a recruiter on Linkedin and I get contacted regularly.

Add it baw. At this point in your career, you are a new grad so your schooling is still relevant.

again depends on the job you are seeking
If you want to be a government accountant then yes listing pertinent courses would be ok
I could care less if you took bowling, history or art.
Honestly just listing your major/minor is all you need
Now if you did a significant research project that may be interesting
