Top 10 Things You Should Know About Your LinkedIn Profile
1. Professional Photo: First impressions count. A clear, friendly, professional photo builds trust instantly.
2. Headline = Your Hook: Go beyond your job title. Use keywords + value (“Finance Exec | ESG Strategy | Board Advisor”).
3. About Section = Your Trailer: Tell your story in 3–5 short paragraphs. Focus on impact, leadership, and what’s next.
4. Keyword Optimization: Recruiters search by keywords. Include industry terms and skills naturally in your profile.
5. Experience = Results, Not a Resume: Lead with accomplishments. Think metrics, scale, outcomes—not just responsibilities.
6. Skills & Endorsements: List your top 15 skills. They help recruiters match you to roles and strengthen your profile ranking.
7. Open to Work (Privately): Use the “Open to Work” setting—visible only to recruiters—to show you’re looking without broadcasting.
8. Engagement Signals Relevance: Like, comment, repost, and share. It keeps you visible and current in your field.
9. Build & Curate Your Network: 500+ connections unlock visibility. Be intentional: former colleagues, peers, industry voices.
10. Watch for Scams: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Don’t pay for interviews. Trust your gut.
