- Your profile is the first thing people see when they look you up on LinkedIn. A great photo and a well-written headline can help you open more doors to opportunity.
- A headline is your personal billboard and tells the world who you are. Boost your profile views by customizing your headline. Here’s how you can write one that clearly sets you apart from your peers.
- Adding a summary of 40 words or more makes your profile more likely to turn up in a future employer’s search. A good tip is to ensure your summary includes keywords featured in desirable job descriptions for your field. Describe your experience and tell the world why you work in your chosen career. Avoid buzzwords (examples: strategic, team player, creative) and focus on your career accomplishments.
- It’s essential to list all past experience. Your profile is 12 times more likely to be viewed if you have more than one position listed.
- Illustrate your unique professional story and achievements by adding visuals such pictures, compelling videos, links to news stories and innovative presentations to your experience section.
- Add skills – The optimal number is unique to each person. Include a mix of high level and niche skills and be specific. Get Endorsements -Add skills that your connections can endorse you for and recognize those you’ve worked with on their professional skills. There are over 3 billion endorsements given to date on LinkedIn.
