Here are some tips to help you make your profile better. If you are not yet a LinkedIn user, you can use these tips to create your profile.
A professional profile picture and cover photos. These pictures give the first visual impression, so think carefully about what they might be. Think about what information you want to convey with your pictures. A profile picture could be something that shows your personality as a professional in your field. A cover photo can be, for example, your company logo, something that characterizes it. Or why not something inspiring? Do not be afraid to be original!
Headline and Summary. The headline is the most visible line of text, if someone continues to view your profile then the summary will become the most important. Instead of simply describing your current job or the job you are looking for, write a short phrase about your career aspirations. Why not take the opportunity to highlight why you like your profession and what you can offer to future employers? To increase your credibility also note some important achievements and some statistics.
Be active. Sharing posts from people and organizations you follow, liking them, and participating in discussions gives recruiters a good idea that you're interested in talking about different topics. It also shows which topics are more relevant to you.
Grow your network. Creating an appropriate network with other professionals and recruiters is one of the easiest ways to discover new opportunities. Recruiters share active job offers on their profiles, as do different organizations. So do not hesitate to search and start following active profiles you like.
Organized work experience. Write down your work experience in the correct order and in a clear way. It will give other people a good overview and if they are interested in finding out more about you, they will contact you and ask for a more detailed CV.
Share your accomplishments and articles about what you do. Share your creations and daily work with pride, it creates a visual portfolio and markets your skills.
Additional courses. Add to your profile all the courses you have completed, language courses, and academic and volunteer achievements. This will help your profile appear better in searches.
In today's digital age, LinkedIn is like your resume, keep it relevant, and in line with your aspirations and accomplishments. If you are open to new opportunities, be sure to mark them on your profile.
