As we transition from summer to fall, it seems apt to go back to basics with how we present digital ourselves in the professional sphere. We could all use a little Linkedin refresh or if you’ve ever felt unclear on where to start, I’ve got you covered.

Craft an Impressive Profile

Let’s start from the very beginning. Step one of LinkedIn is to create a captivating profile with a professional headshot and a compelling headline that showcases your expertise and aspirations. You’ll want to craft a summary that weaves your unique story, emphasizing accomplishments and skills. Request recommendations for added credibility. Make sure to fully “complete” your profile according to the LinkedIn protocol so that you become more eligible to recruiters on the platform!

Showcasing Accomplishments and Skills

Here, you should highlight your career journey in the “Experience” section, accentuating achievements and projects. Add relevant skills and endorse others to build a reciprocal network. Keep it succinct here; you don’t need to copy and paste your entire resume.

Engaging Content Creation

Beyond a resume-like platform page, LinkedIn is a content-sharing platform. Post thought-provoking articles, industry insights, and updates to engage your network. Multimedia enhances posts—share videos, infographics, and presentations. In addition to creating and sharing content on LinkedIn, definitely try to interact with others on the platform. You may find yourself in a robust conversation with your industry peers before you know it.

Building a Thriving Network

Connect with colleagues, peers, and individuals aligned with your interests. Personalize connection requests and participate in LinkedIn groups. Engaging in discussions expands your reach.

Leveraging LinkedIn Job Opportunities

Explore job opportunities through LinkedIn’s search feature. Save job searches and follow companies you admire for updates. Engage with their content to increase visibility.

Networking and Collaboration

Utilize LinkedIn’s messaging for professional outreach. Craft concise messages, offering mutual benefits for collaboration or asking for an informational interview from someone you may admire from afar, or who works at a company that piques your interest. Nurture relationships by celebrating achievements – like a new job or promotion – and engaging in meaningful conversations.

LinkedIn is a powerful tool that opens doors to endless opportunities. Optimize your profile, share engaging content, build a thriving network, and leverage job prospects to elevate your professional journey. I always say that with LinkedIn, you get out what you put into it. So as we kick off the fall, make the investment to get your LinkedIn profile in tip top shape!
