Words from the Wise Guy
Tips to a successful LinkedIn profile!

Do you have a Linkedin Profile? Do you have a strategy around your online brand or are you just tossing stuff into your profile until LinkedIn reports that it’s complete? Is your profile a good profile or is it just sorta done? Start off the New Year right by giving your LinkedIn profile a checkup and making it more effective.

Web Worker Daily explained how to ensure your profile is effective, and their advice was spot on. Here are the highlights:

  • Use your common professional name. And if you’re a woman who has taken her husband’s name, do the Facebook trick of including your maiden name to make it easier for colleagues to find you.
  • Use a professional photo. Not a snapshot your brother took of you while on vacation.
  • Add a Professional Headline. You can find it on the Edit My Profile page. It should be a concise, one-line bio. And, please, please, don’t say you’re unemployed in the headline.
  • Be thorough when you describe your past positions. Be specific about what activities you do that best represent your career.
  • Describe your Web site or blog. Don’t list the name of the site, which is probably somewhat vague. Get right to the point by describing its function.
  • Request recommendations. It’s okay to ask people for recommendations — seek out people that would complement your goals.
