Wednesday, February 29, 2012
If you are looking for a new client, a new job or want to connect with key people in your industry then it is critical for you to fully complete your profile.
Here are four good reasons.
1. Your profile may be the first impression a recruiter, colleague or prospective client may have of you. You want to make a positive impact. Including a professional headshot is essential. People want to see the person behind the profile.
2. Studies have shown that more people connect with those who have a photo.
3. Writing a summary that is engaging and informative attracts the reader more quickly than simply listing your responsibilities and accomplishments. Telling your story in a relevant and relatable way helps showcase your abilities and sets you apart from the competition.
4. Recommendations support your credibility and give others a flavor for who you are and how you operate. It is an easy way to highlight your strengths.
Completing your profile shows that your care about your online presence and understand the important role it plays in your career success.
