Did you know that four people are hired on LinkedIn<\/a> every minute? With nearly 800 million members<\/a> and 57 million listed companies, LinkedIn is the world\u2019s largest professional network. It provides not only opportunities to highlight your own skills, but it helps you network with people around the globe and connect to job opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But with so many members, how can you make your LinkedIn profile stand out? Here are three tips to help you put your best (virtual) foot forward. And be sure to keep reading to learn about some of the latest career opportunities with Beyondsoft<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Choose quality photos for your LinkedIn profile and banner<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your image is the first thing recruiters and contacts notice about your profile, so you want to make a good impression. For your profile photo, choose an up-to-date, high-resolution headshot. Your picture should represent how you look day-to-day. Clothes with solid colors typically look better, as do uncluttered backgrounds. Avoid using a cropped group photo where a stray hand might be visible. And one more thing? Smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t forget about your banner photo. Your banner is a great way to personalize your profile with an eye-catching image that showcases who you are and your professional identity. It could be your product, your customers, your mission, or just something unique about you. As with your profile photo, use a high-resolution image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Create an engaging LinkedIn headline and about section<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many people focus on their experience section, but then neglect their LinkedIn headline and about section. So let\u2019s start with the headline, which appears directly beneath your name. It\u2019s designed for more than just your job title and company. Update your headline to reflect your professional identity. Include keywords and phrases that you want to be found for and share something about yourself that makes you unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news is that you\u2019ve got 120 characters to use. Use commas or vertical bars to separate phrases. So instead of \u201cSales Manager, XYZ Manufacturing,\u201d go with something like \u201cCustomer-obsessed sales manager, innovator & mentor | Creating business value through cloud-based solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The about section is the place where your connections get to know you. It\u2019s the ideal place to share your personal mission and work goals and the value you bring to the table. It\u2019s where you can spotlight important skills and the accomplishments you\u2019re most proud of. Be sure to incorporate the keywords that you want to be found for. Always write the about section in first-person and let your voice shine through to help personalize your profile. You\u2019ve got 2,000 characters to spend, so make them count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Beef up your LinkedIn recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just like an Amazon review, people look at recommendations from others you\u2019ve worked with to validate your skills. So acquiring quality recommendations is essential. Ideally, you should continue compiling recommendations throughout your career, not just when you\u2019re looking for a job. In addition to colleagues and managers, consider asking people you\u2019ve managed, clients, mentors, and others that you\u2019ve collaborated with to recommend you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully, LinkedIn makes it easy to request a recommendation<\/a> within the tool, although you still want to personalize your request. It\u2019s helpful to remind colleagues of a particular project or workstream where you worked together. You can even ask them to vouch for specific skillsets that you are hoping to highlight. Also, always return the favor by offering to write them a recommendation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously, there\u2019s much more to making your LinkedIn profile stand out, but these are a great place to start. Still searching for the right career fit? Check out the latest sales and technical career openings at Beyondsoft<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
