5 Tips to Using LinkedIn Better

5 Tips to Using LinkedIn Better

By Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter

Here are some things you can do with your LinkedIn profile:

1. Put a professional-looking headshot on your LinkedIn profile

2. Use your profile header on LinkedIn to make yourself stand out more

Here’s the header to mine:

People Hire Me for No BS Career Coaching — Job Search, Hiring, Career Transitions, Management & Leadership Success Globally

You can do something to make your profile’s header more effective.

3. Finish your profile. Particularly if you are a consultant, make sure you list many of the firms you consulted to over the past five years.

4. Write a description of what you did at your former employers with keywords and search engine optimization in mind. The idea is to get yourself found.

5. Add to your connections
