Importance of LinkedIn Profile
LinkedIn has become the greatest source of career connection platform.
On LinkedIn you can find employees, employers, CEOs, bloggers, start-up masters, learners, teachers and many more, you name it linked in has it!!!
That’s why it is important to be LinkedIn and the second most important thing is to have the impressive liked in profile.
The profile which speaks to your viewer and tells them a story about you and your career, your activity, your likes, and interests.
So now the question is how to create an impressive profile and what is most important is it?
Profile picture and banner
The profile picture explains a lot about you. so to have a picture of your carrying a sweet smile with wearing the confidence is very important.
Now in the banner, you can have your picture and pictorial representation of things you are currently doing.
*You can now add an audio file to let people know how your name can be spelled. Which I think is a great feature because many times even I tend to spell some of the names wrong.
Career information
The career history and current job information is something important to tell people about. But adding the only the name of the organization and the time you work from when till when is not sufficient.
You have to let people know what exactly you had been working on when you were there in that particular organization. So describe your role in the numbered points format.
Resume
Adding a resume in the LinkedIn is more like an official thing to do because the profile itself tells everything anyone might want to know, only if you have a detailed profile.
Features and About information
In the area of about you can add the whole life story and linked or the current hobbies or learning you might be doing right now. In this area, most of the time people tend to take interest since they love to read someone else’s life story.
The feature area is reserved for the most important things like, if you are maintaining some domain, or youtube channel things like this, which can be directed by the URL link, the features are the best area to include them in it. In addition, you can add the most impactful articles of your or posts.
Adding Skills and Certificates
This is where you can show what you know & have learned and what you are currently learning.
You can add multiple skill sets and also add the certification you have done till now for any of the advancement of the skills. This explains that you are a life long learner and you will keep improving no matter what, which makes you the golden egg for employer.
Activity and Posts
In the activity whatever you do will be displayed for example if you have liked some post if you have commented, or have yourself posted something.
This explains what you are following, what you love, and where your interest tends to flow.
In the post, you can share what you know, ask questions, create a poll, post articles, post images, and videos you like.
What you will get?
Now the question remains what will you get out of the nice impressive profile?
- Get connections, people network, chance to get information from the best, and learn from them, all you need to do is ask.
- Get employed by connecting with people.
- Get employees for your organization or for the startup.
