How do I improve my LinkedIn profile?

Use a clear photo and headline, a short summary and specific achievements.

A strong LinkedIn profile helps recruiters and colleagues find you. Complete the main sections and use clear, specific language.

Think of it as an online professional introduction.

The basics

Use a clear, friendly photo, and write a headline that says what you do and what you offer, not just your job title.

About and experience

Write a short summary in the first person. List achievements with numbers where possible, rather than only duties.

Visibility

Add relevant skills, ask for recommendations, connect with people in your field and share or comment on posts occasionally. Keep your details up to date.
