According to a national survey, 87% of recruiters use LinkedIn to vet candidates during the hiring process. Here are some best practices for your LinkedIn profile:
-
Be sure your profile is complete (education, experiences, and accomplishments) and up-to-date
-
Be sure your profile and resume match -- dates of employment, job titles, etc. -- discrepancies say you're not detail oriented
-
Don't use selfies -- your profile photo like your resume should be professional
-
Make contacts, especially with important figures in your field, and be active on news feeds -- both show you're keep abreast of developments in your profession
-
Your headline matters -- Google search results include your location and professional headline
-
Avoid long, dense blocks of text -- summarize, use short blocks, and bullet points that can be read easily
-
No slang, no jargon, and don't be vague
