Hi all, I am currently cleansing my Linkedin in preparation for connecting with people on my vacation schemes. I've completed five 'Internship Experiences' at various firms on Forage. I currently have these in the 'work experience' section on Linkedin. They did involve submitting and preparing work sample tasks, but I'm not sure if it's misleading to count them as work experience. I've also seen these put under the 'Licenses and Certifications' section on Linkedin. Which section would you recommend putting these under? Many thanks!

I’d put them in the certifications section as they aren’t really work experience as such.

I think this is a completely personal choice. Personally I think if you have lots of other work experiences then I would include it under the "Licenses and Certifications" but if not then include them under the work experience section. Either way, don't overthink it!
