ACTION

What are your top 3 actions or tips you took away from the presentation?  Share them on this post and @mention me:

5 LinkedIn Profile Mistakes

  1. 3rd Person Summary – It is hard to connect with someone talking about themselves, so write in the first person.
  2. 1-way communication – Talking AT your network isn’t the best way to build relationships – Engage.
  3. Incomplete – update your profile as you achieve more and learn more about yourself and your purpose.
  4. Spammy –  Build relationships rather than trying to sell something or yourself too soon.
  5. Out of date & inactive  – Update your brand image and content often (use keywords) & engage with your network.

10 LinkedIn Profile Essentials

  1. Well-positioned headline – 120 character positioning statement.
  2. Branded visuals – Background & profile photo.
  3. 1st person summary – Tell your story with personality, using my formula.
  4. Optimised experience – Focus on outcomes and achievements (include internships and work experience).
  5. Media – Include a video introduction, PDF resume, portfolio links …
  6. Relevant skills – Make top 3 most relevant (expertise/delivery) and seek endorsement.
  7. Accomplishments – Add memberships, accreditations, awards, publishings, projects.
  8. Contact details – Make sure they are up to date and professional: mobile – email – website/blog.
  9. Connect to organisations – Link your experience and education to the the correct Page
  10. Add value –  Find your voice and write articles, create intersting posts, and most importantly engage with your network.
