Creating Smart LinkedIn Profile

Your LinkedIn profile is your passport to your career Heaven ☀️ but I noticed lots of professionals are really struggling on how to set up and win 🏆 that job!

In 2021, I dedicated Wednesday and Thursday to Live Resume and LinkedIn review on our clubhouse rooms while Friday was for Live Interview preparation.

Here are some tips to update your LinkedIn profile. Send me a DM if you need more help.

***LinkedIn Setup Tips***

📌customize your URL name section of your LinkedIn web address, use initial and last name if possible instead of the long string of characters mine is /in/takinwumi

📌create and use banner for your header, website like canva.com can be useful

📌get a professional headshot with clear background showing your face like a passport photo

📌create an About section like summary section from your resume, it’s your elevator speech! Also add your skillsets and technical tools you’re familiar with using the pipe “|” format

📌use strong action verbs to describe and qualify your work experience using the STAR method to showcase your skills

📌 feature section is disabled by default, make sure it’s turned on to showcase your projects, certs, awards, conference pictures and others(excluding your resume)

📌add up to 50 skills

📌give recommendations and ask couple in return

📌add your certifications

📌network and connect with people to build relations

📌don’t burn your old bridges and build good new ones

📌join career groups that resonate with you

📌don’t create enemies, make friends and keep them, they will be your career references tomorrow 👌

Have a lovely day ☀️
