Monday Motivation: How To Optimize Your Linkedin Profile For More Opportunities by careersensei: 1:25pm On Oct 03, 2016 |
Follow the guide underneath to get the best out of your LinkedIn experience: Name: Include your first middle (if applicable) and last name. Avoid nicknames and other popular industry jargon. Headline: By default, LinkedIn would use your most recent position as your headline. As this is the most important aspect of your profile, edit it to include terms that would make it easy for others to define your industry and your role within it. So instead of Marketing Manager, XYZ Company, Award Winning Marketing Manager who has worked with some of the leading FMCG Brands. Be sure to add your location and your industry to be more visible in searches. Pro-tip: Customize your URL to make it easier for people to find you. By default, LinkedIn creates a URL for you, which looks like this linkedin.com/pub/career-sensei7342/7864 you should customize it into this linkedin.com/in/careersensei. You can do this by clicking on the grey box underneath your name. Profile Photo: A profile photo can result in 14 times more profile views. Use a recent professional head shot. Pro-tip: Be professionally dressed on your profile picture and keep the picture true-to-life, meaning that if you wear glasses or have your hair in bangs in your day-to-day life, be sure to capture the same in the photograph Summary: Write a creative, succinct description which should include your present and future careers ambitions. Be sure to include your specialties/ areas of expertise as well as a call to action with your point of contact such as your phone number or email. E.g of a call to action "I am open to new opportunities, Call me on 000-000-000" Pro-tip: Use the add media link to add links to slides, articles, blog posts etc to your summary to give credibility to your claims. follow www.careersensei..com for more tips |
