Question 16 of 30

At LinkedIn we prefer to hire those with an education in computer science or another related field. Walk me through your post-secondary education and training.

LinkedIn values post-secondary education, so they generally ask for a degree plus in-depth knowledge in your area of expertise, for most technical roles.

The interviewer will already have an idea of your education background from your resume. What they are asking is for you to take a few minutes to bring the experience to life for them! What was your major? Did you receive any special academic recognition? Discuss the strengths gained during your post-secondary training and how those skills will be put to use in your new position with LinkedIn.
