All in LinkedIn
Imagine you NAILED IT! πYou landed your absolute dream job and they want to do a Public Relations Pitch showcasing YOU. β¨πHow totally awesome is that!!
They asked you to provide the photo. π·
Would you use a selfie taken in the car on the way to work? (OMG, I hope not!!)
Or a photo you took when out to dinner with your significant other, and just cut them out of the photo? (Goodness, no)
Sooooo, don't use these photos for you LinkedIn Profile.π
You can say that you pay attention to small details as much as you want, and manage all aspects of a project with ease, but your attention to your own LinkedIn profile, showcasing YOU, may be telling a different story.
πThink about your LinkedIn Profile as Project that you are MANAGING and of course, a reflection of your PERSONAL BRANDING! Please take the effort to do a GREAT JOB!ππ
πWOW - Did you know that people with a LinkedIn photo receive 21 times more profile views and 9 times more connection requests.
β Remember, you are showing people why YOU would be AMAZING in this position, so don't get lazy about your photo.
(Hmm... because if you don't put much effort into your own profile, which is all about you, the person looking to hire you will wonder how much effort you will put into THEIR work.)
