Did you know?

A hire is made every 10 seconds using LinkedIn and this is only going to increase in the coming year 2023. Fact from LinkedIn Talent Solutions.

LinkedIn statistics on kinsta.com say that:

  • LinkedIn has over 20 million companies listed and over 14 million open jobs
  • 90% of the recruiters use LinkedIn regularly.
  • 122 million people have received an interview through LinkedIn

But what’s the relevance of these facts until you have the right profile to match the recruiter expectation!

Here are key points to note for creating a winning LinkedIn profile in 2023:

  1. Add a good headshot. Simple with a subtle backdrop.
  2. A cover photo in alignment with your profession or personality is eye-catching.
  3. Your Full Name: Consider the sentence case
  4. Headline: It’s like your billboard advertisement. Should talk about what you do your specialty.
  5. Summary: Summary or the about section is important! It is like a comprehensive version of your resume. Keep it interesting and craft it around your work and aspirations.

For freshers/students: It should talk about your skills and where do you want to land with those skills.

  1. You can customize your profile URL to something where your name is followed by your profession.

Usually, the URL has some number that doesn’t add any value.
