- Our overall value proposition
- Our value propositions for members – three ways that LinkedIn helps its members
- An ideal starting point for connecting with your professional world is building a great profile on LinkedIn
- Select a photo that represents you professionally. This helps humanize your profile and makes you more approachable. You don’t have to enlist the help of a professional photographer – ensure you’re dressed professionally and alone in the shot and you can even take a photo with the help of a colleague.
- Your profile is the front page of your story. The headline is a great way to show your value and passion in one quick line. Inspire the viewer to read more.
- Adding a summary of 40 words or more makes your profile more likely to turn up in a future employer’s search. A good tip is to ensure your summary includes keywords featured in desirable job descriptions for your field. Describe your experience and tell the world why you work in your chosen career. Avoid buzzwords (examples: strategic, team player, creative) and focus on your career accomplishments.
- It’s essential to list all past experience. Your profile is 12 times more likely to be viewed if you have more than one position listed.
- Illustrate your unique professional story and achievements by adding visuals such pictures, compelling videos, links to news stories and innovative presentations to your experience section.
- Add skills – The optimal number is unique to each person. Include a mix of high level and niche skills and be specific. Get Endorsements -Add skills that your connections can endorse you for and recognize those you’ve worked with on their professional skills. There are over 3 billion endorsements given to date on LinkedIn.
- Adding causes and volunteer experience is a great way to round out your professional identity. Almost half of all hiring managers say they view volunteer experience as equivalent to formal work experience.
- There are many ways for your to share what you know on LinkedIn, and to also learn from others who are sharing their expertise. I am going to dive deeper into a couple of these. SlideShare – upload you presentations, or infographics. New functionality now where you can with one click from SlideShare, add a presentation to your LinkedIn profile Groups – We have over 2.1M groups on LinkedIn – connect with other professionals with similar interests to you. Collaborate, share, discuss Pulse – Consume content on the topics that interest you. Influencers – Follow industry influencers We also have member publishing, which hopefully you’ve heard of. We’re going to dive deeper into that in a little bit.
- Look for groups relating to your industry, function, and career interest –– then join a few to stay up to date on trending topics and news. Build a solid professional reputation by sharing your ideas and commenting on others’ posts and providing advice where appropriate.
- Keep up to date on industry news and articles on LinkedIn that will make you better at the job you have now.
- Grow your reach: Writing on LinkedIn is a great way to tap into and grow your network. Not only will your posts reach your connections, you can also build a following
