5 Ways to Improve your LinkedIn Profile

I’m always happy to pass on great info, and this is great info! I’ve included a few snippets below lifted from the full article.

Update your headline

Your LinkedIn headline defaults to current role at current company. Your current role is just a small part of who you are as a professional. You have 120 characters in this line where you can elaborate and share more about yourself. Consider changing your headline to a keyword list, a sentence or sentence fragment. 

Consider SEO

When someone is searching for you on LinkedIn, what are the keywords they would search? These are the important words to incorporate into your headline and summary sections. Make sure your qualifications and keywords are at the forefront. You may fold these into your summary in paragraph form or leave them as a ‘key skills’ word bank at the bottom of your summary. 

Get active

You’ll get the most out of LinkedIn if you are using LinkedIn, so get in there and post, like, comment or share. If you’re not sure where to begin, you can contribute to a conversation that is already happening or share an article that you found particularly helpful. Simple actions will ensure that your profile is shared and you are top of mind. This can be done in just a few minutes and reach hundreds of people.
