How to use LinkedIn as a returning student after a gap

I get this so much. I was terrified about my resume gap too until I realized nobody cares as much as you think they do. Just be honest in your summary like "returning to school to pivot into X field" because employers actually respect that more than you'd expect. The gap is way less scary than pretending it didn't happen or trying to hide it. Put your education front and center on LinkedIn and own the comeback story because that's literally what you're doing.
