2. LinkedIn Glossary 2.1 Profile
While a profile is one of LinkedIn’s most basic elements, users tend not to take full advantage of it.
Simply adding your current and past
positions is not enough: your LinkedIn profile is essentially a digital resume that allows other users to view a snapshot of your professional history.
Having a professional profile photo is a must.
This not only
allows people to quickly identify you, but it lets other users know that you are, in fact, a real person. Profiles with photos are seven times more interactive than those without a photo. So, take the time to enhance your personal brand via LinkedIn to achieve better results.
Many
employers use LinkedIn to search for their prospective employees. It is a fact that the better your profile is and the more professional it looks, the higher your chances of getting hired or more widely connected.
