How to make your LinkedIn profile stand out...
Many recruiters use LinkedIn on a daily basis to spot new talent and recruit for their business. As an individual looking for employment, it is essential to have an attractive, up-to-date, and approachable LinkedIn profile.
With our experience and expertise in LinkedIn and personal branding strategy, here are DigitalHive’s top LinkedIn tips for elevating your profile.
Tip 1 - Have a clear profile picture and an engaging cover image.
Your profile picture is the first impression a future employer will have of you. Make sure your profile photo is professional, whilst using natural lighting and a neutral background.
Wear what you would choose to wear at work, and ensure your face covers 60 percent of the photo. Most importantly… Be yourself! It is great when your personality shines through in your profile.
Your cover image is a secondary element to your profile, so this too should be clear and memorable. However, do not complicate this! The image does not need to be complex – it just needs to be clear. For example, a clean and simplistic image of a workspace is a good place to start.
Tip 2 - Utilise your about section.
Tip 3 - Provide clear details about your role(s).
Tip 4 - Post regularly.
Tip 5 - Include your contact details.
