Changing careers? Let us help you update your LinkedIn profile.
As LinkedIn coaches, our team and I often hear the phrase that “My LinkedIn profile is so ugly” followed by the “I haven’t touched my profile in five years" response.
If either term describes your current profile, here’s some key reasons for keeping it up to date and engaged within your industry.
- Increased visibility to recruiters and hiring managers. LinkedIn is one of the most popular platforms for recruiters and hiring managers to find new talent. A well-written and up-to-date profile can make you more visible to these professionals and increase your chances of being contacted about job opportunities.
- Enhanced professional credibility. A strong LinkedIn profile can help you establish yourself as a credible professional in your field. When potential employers and clients see that you have a well-developed profile with a strong network of connections, they will be more likely to take you seriously.
- Opportunities for networking. LinkedIn is a great platform for networking with other professionals in your field. You can connect with people you know, as well as people you don't know, to learn about new opportunities and stay up-to-date on industry trends.
- Access to exclusive content and resources. LinkedIn offers a variety of exclusive content and resources to its members, such as webinars, articles, and job postings. By being an active member, you can gain access to this valuable information and learn about new opportunities.
