Presentation Notes
Smile in professional picture. Picture can be from chest up 60% of the picture should be your face. Make sure your LinkedIn profile picture is up to date (within the past few years) and reflects how you look on a daily basis. If the picture looks a bit blurry when you upload it, you may want to opt for a different one. This may also happen if you try to take a picture of a picture (like taking a pic of the photo on your ID badge) so it’s best to take a fresh one instead. Choose a solo photo for your profile picture. Cropping a group photo isn’t the best solution, since you might see a random hand or shoulder popping into the frame.
