Are you searching for a job? Do you want to get noticed by recruiters or HR? here are mistakes you are doing on LinkedIn you need to avoid.
Here are some mistakes that are killing your LinkedIn Profile
No #LinkedInprofilephoto turns off visitors and recruiters to your page immediately.
You don’t need to get a professional headshot for LinkedIn. Keep it a simple, professional image of yourself – not a company logo, not a family vacation picture, just a nice clean headshot of you
Your headline, right under your name, is a vital piece of your profile and your branding. When someone lands on your LinkedIn profile, you have seconds to impress them, to make them want to learn more about you. You don’t have to use your current job title as your LinkedIn headline. You can choose a LinkedIn headline that brands you more powerfully.
The very second thing your profile visitors see after your headline is the first two lines of your summary section. If you don’t grab their attention, they’ll click away, and the opportunity is lost. The Summary at the top of your LinkedIn profile is valuable real estate. Don’t waste that real estate by leaving it blank! The first 120 characters are vital for them to click “see more”.
You must include social proof in your LinkedIn profile. It increases your credibility and ability to establish yourself as a professional. LinkedIn has made social proof easy by incorporating sections for Recommendations and Skills & Endorsements on your profile. Start by listing your skills and your connections will start endorsing.
