LinkedIn \u2013 your online resume<\/h1>\n

Your LinkedIn profile is your online resume and will help you build a professional brand for prospective employers.<\/h2>\n
\n

Make sure your profile is complete and detailed but temporarily turn off your activity broadcast whenever you are updating, so you don\u2019t fill your connections\u2019 feeds with update notices.<\/p>\n

Include a high quality, recent photo. Use a headshot that represents the professional you, rather than a holiday snap.<\/p>\n

Customise your URL so your link is easy to share. If your name is available, use it.<\/p>\n

Make your profile public so people can find you. Use a summary to showcase parts of your profile. Add photos, videos and slideshow presentations to your profile summary to provide examples of your work or show yourself in action. Click \u2018Edit Profile\u2019, scroll down to your summary, then click on the box symbol, then \u2018Add file\u2019.<\/p>\n

Request LinkedIn recommendations from people you have worked with. These will act as references to potential employers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
