I will help you improve your Linkedin today!
Linkedin is a very useful tool within the professional business marketplace. Using Linkedin to engage and connect with professionals is key online. Making sure your professionally highlighted on Linkedin is vital!
Ensuring you have a profile that stands out and sells you is vital!
Here are my 5 top tips;
1) Write a personal tagline
The line of text under your name is the 1st thing people see in your profile. It follows your name in search hit lists. It’s your band! Your company brand may be so strong that the name and your job title may be enough however I have found adding a touch of personality with an eye catching phrase about you works wonders.
2) Point out your key skills
When your writing in the specialities box be aware that this is fully optimised as part of the search and through google. Any information you put in this box distinguishes you, your company and professional capacity. Always ensure you add buzzwords, key skills, professional performance highlights and even a note of humour or passion.
3) Clarify your professional experience.
Help the reader understand the key points; briefly say what the company does and what your experience is/was within the company. Make sure any information you add is noted in easily digestible chunks.
4) Improve your Google PageRank
Pat your own back and others to! Always ask for recommendations and give your connections recommendations to. Allow them to talk about you as a professional and make sure when asking for a recommendation you give the professional some guidance. The more links you have to and from your profile the better search optimised you will be.
5) Picture Perfect
When uploading a picture remember your face is your brand and the picture must be professional and show some personality. Typically large organisations will get a professional photographer in and make pictures uniform however if you don’t have this nicety use a professional camera, get suited or booted and smile!
