How to Be an All-Star Linked in Profile

Linked Overview

260 millions users in 200 countries

200 conversations per minute

94% recruiters look at Linkedin profiles

1 Show them facts

« responsible » & « creative » are the most-used adjectives on Linkedin

Don’t tell how great you are - show us links, pictures, slides or figuresBuild yourself a sales page - you’re the product

2 Get it 100% completedTake time to complete each profile section - nothing’s worst than an empty profile

Mention your work experiences, education, projects, awards & skills

Be original with your summary - tell us your story (inspiring book, anecdote, funny fact, etc.)

Give people a way to get in touch with you

3 Look at the camera

Only you please

Upload a nice consistent picture showing your confidence

and don’t change it too often

4 Grow your network

Personalize your message when contacting would-be connections

Take a glimpse at their profile first and find a common interestExplain how do we know? How can we be helpful to each other?

This way, I got in touch with world’s largest companies’ HR Directors

Your credibility starts with your former companies’ members - search for them and connect

Use the « People You Might Know » Linkedin tool

5 Get endorsed

Message your ex co-workers, bosses & clients to be

recommended

6 Be findableUse keywords on your description

Make sure your profile link is clear - your full name should appear instead of a bunch of numbers

Add this link on top of your résumé

Keep your real full name displayed

Edit your settings

Create a distinctive title for your profile - How can you help others?

7 Get involved

Search for groups & companies that interest you and contribute to the discussions

Think of the help you can bring to the community - post your articles

8 Stay tunedBuilding a profile and leave is useless -

be proactive

Update your information, congratulate your connections & share

relevant content

Check out influencers profiles to get inspired

Boost your profile by adding the link to Brandyourself
