Take a pen and a folio and start taking note: we want you to have your account as good as possible.
The photo is very important, because it will be the first visual impact. It is also necessary, because a profile without photo is considered incomplete, and you are less likely to be found by headhunters.
In the picture you must go out alone. In the foreground, from the waist up will be fine.
The conditions of the photo: that it has good lighting, that it is sharp, and that the center of the photo is your face.
You will also have to take into account the existence of the cover photo. It will talk about you so if you insert an image related to your sector better, and if you customize it with your email, it will further improve your branding.
Do research with tools like SemRush on the best keywords in the industry you want to work in, and insert them all over your profile.
That way, when recruiters search to find employees with that position, you’ll be in the results.
Try to compose it taking into account the keywords discussed in the previous point.
It’s going to have to be short, concise, but it describes well what you do. And as it’s eye-catching.
Don’t use clichés or capital letters that can throw recruiters back.
The LinkedIn profile is divided by different sections. You will have to write it and complete it 100%,do not forget anything and organize the information well.
If you have a certificate, add it, too.
Important that you’re networking with people.
But not with everyone, create connections with people in your profession, so you’ll create a network of contacts related to your industry that will be able to offer you more job opportunities in the future.
Always try to compose an initial message when you connect, and make your intentions clear, if you want to advertise it tell it and that it does not come to you again.
Apply to join groups related to your world and actively participate to make your name start ringing through the industry.
The first thing you see when you enter LinkedIn are people’s posts. Both those that are connections and those of other people with whom your connections have interacted.
If you publish, sharing other posts, commenting on them or giving them to “recommend”… all of that will make them see you and get them in the feed.
Your name will come out all over the sector more and more.
When you create a LinkedIn profile, it will give you a very rare URL by default.
The network gives you the possibility to customize your URL so that when you share your profile they already see your name, your personal brand.
If you get someone from your previous projects to write you a recommendation, you’ll have the headhunters look at your profile with other eyes.
Always keep your profile up to date. Filling in as if it were a resume and leaving the forgotten account doesn’t go with LinkedIn.
If recruiters see inactivity it will hurt you.
In all your publications: redeem them professionally.
And in all your profile in general: be honest, always tell the truth, because the lie has very short legs.
