A professional headshot is the fastest way to make your profile look active. Better than a cropped selfie, your headshot reflects purpose and professionalism.

People who find your profile and are interested in contacting you need a way to do that! Make sure your contact information is up to date and professional.

 

This includes personalizing your URL to make sharing your profile easier.

Make your summary keyword rich (this makes it easier to find in searching)

Use the first-person (this keeps it human)

Add some contact details (so people you are not connected to can reach out)

You’ll want to keep updated is your experience section, since this is one of the first things employers will skim—it’s close to an online resume.

 

While you should certainly be descriptive, be careful about what keywords you choose to use. Steer clear of buzzwords.

 

You can also add media to each of your job experiences in this section and showcase the recommendations you’ve received for particular positions.

Think of this as a portfolio for your best work, include your Independent Project. Upload the files (best option) if possible or create Google Drive folders with links (lesser option).
