How to make Your LinkedIn Profile effective

Hi Friends,

Hope you are doing well!!

I was just going through my LinkedIn Profile and updating some experience. I thought how I can I make my LinkedIn Profile effective. And, Finally I got some interesting Points thought to share with you….

LinkedIn is a searchable database of talent and skills. You are potentially visible to everyone specifically looking for what you have to offer. 

Whether you’re job hunting, gathering leads, or networking in your industry, having a professional, eye-catching LinkedIn profile is an excellent idea to make sure that you can be found by the right people at the right time. 

When I look at your profile, if I don’t get the impression that it’s "on-purpose," I have to wonder about your intentions. I’ll guess you are new to LinkedIn, or you haven’t yet taken the time to flesh it out.

The worst impression you can give me is that you don’t care about it, and you are just fishing for network contacts that you can spam. Seriously, having a half-baked profile will make me question what your intentions are.

 So let’s get started to make your LinkedIn Profile effective: 

1. Your picture  

The picture should be of your face. Not your dog. Or a waterfall. Choose a simple headshot where you are looking straight ahead. No selfies. It’s well worth the money to have a professional picture taken. Remember, it doesn’t have to be boring or artificial. You don’t have to wear business attire if that’s not your style. But you need to look professional and pleasant. Smile. You are going for “dependable” and “trustworthy.” Avoid “sexy” or “quirky.” 

The old adage is true. People remember faces more than names. This is also why one needs to see your face and not some other part of you. For example, a yoga instructor should still use a headshot and not a photo of her/himself in a yoga pose. Pictures that attest to skill or talent can be uploaded elsewhere on your profile, along with training videos and presentation materials. 

2. Your headline

You have 120 characters at the top of your profile to describe to the world what you do. Many people just put their official job title. Which is one way to go… or you can really use the system to your advantage here. Choose descriptive and compelling keywords that a) make you as marketable as possible, and b) help you get found by the right people. Remember, LinkedIn is a search engine. 

Examples of effective headlines are “Recruiter, HR, Talent Management Expert” or “Brand Marketing, PR, Communications Professional.” Comes in handy especially if you are currently looking for work.  

Job Portals

There are various Job Portals available in the Market. There are pros & cons of even the so called “BEST” in the business. Majority of people feel Naukri is the best. It has highest number of reasonably good clients and so you can expect more options in their job list. Here I am giving some Names of Job Portals. You can check and search Talent from there. Happy Sourcing !!
