How should we put our decorations and awards from our time in service on LinkedIn?

In a LinkedIn profile, there is a section for “Accomplishments”

  • Feel free to put them all in there
  • There are several campaign ribbons and medals that might not deserve a spot on LinkedIn
    • It is important to only use medals that represent a specific accomplishment, and not just a generic medal that everybody gets such as “stationed in Asia”
    • For major awards on your résumé, they should go under the Experiences section under the position in which you earned it.
