LinkedIn is an effective tool for leveraging your network, growing your professional brand, and achieving your career or business goals. To help you make the most of your LinkedIn profile, we've compiled a comprehensive checklist that covers all the essentials.
10 Actions that will help you to get more views on your Linked Profile
Get a Professional Headshot
First Impressions Count: Ensure your profile picture is a professional headshot reflecting your identity. Most phone cameras can provide a great headshot, provided you have a properly lit background.Â
Current Employment Details
Stay Updated: Regularly update your employer information to inform your network of your professional journey.
Accurate Job Title
Clarity is Key: Recruiters and customers search for people using keywords, so include your current or desired job title in your headline.
Full Name and Contact Information
Easy Accessibility: Display your full name and contact information so potential connections can reach you.
Work and Educational History
Showcase Your Path: Include key skills and accomplishments in your work history, and remember to list your educational background.
Licenses, Certifications, and Personal Branding
Highlight Your Qualifications: Add any relevant licenses and certifications. Use the About section to effectively represent your personal brand.
Engagement and Recommendations
Build Credibility: Join groups, follow newsletters, and engage with content. Ask for at least three recommendations to bolster your profile's trustworthiness.
Skills, Volunteer Work, and Projects
Demonstrate Your Capabilities: Prioritize your top three skills, list any volunteer work, and showcase projects you're proud of.
Build Connections
Connect with people you know: Make a habit of making connection requests with classmates, friends, and current and former co-workers. The more connections you have, the more visibility and access you have on LinkedIn.
Stay Visible:
Post and comment on other people's posts regularly. The more you engage with others, the more they will engage with you.
