Now let’s take a look at how to create a professional LinkedIn profile:

Use a handsome profile picture

You need to use your own profile picture in the profile. Keep in mind that the head and face are straight and smart looking. There cannot be any pictures like modeling or selfies. In order to create a good impression in the first look, you should pick the best picture of you. You must refrain from giving pictures of animals, flowers in the profile. Overall, It should be noted that the picture is from a real and professional person.

Make a good title 

You need to express yourself in the title within 120 characters and of course correctly. Remember that LinkedIn is a professional platform of good quality. Employers do a search to find a professional worker. So there is no substitute for taking care of it. The title should be given in such a way that recruiters can find the subject they are searching for.

Describe yourself in short

This section can be arranged with a few words about you. Experience can be added briefly. Infographics or pictures to your own experience. That means something has to be added to attract the reader in the shortest possible time. If you make them attracted to the topic here, the employer will be interested in going through the rest of the profile section. Note that if the reader gets upset with this section, they will skip your profile. That's why you have to make yourself creative, and confident at any point. 

Highlight the experience 

In this section, you have to describe your experience. The job you have already done or the job you are working on. Here's a look at what is on your CV and keep both the same. Mention what works best for you. Here are the rules of your work area, designation, job description, time limit of how long you worked. Add keywords to this section for search engine optimization (important to rank on google). The importance of the keywords in each section should be emphasized. 

LinkedIn is a lot more than Facebook in terms of career. You can showcase yourself on LinkedIn like what you are doing, what you did new, you can also publish notes. So get yourself through LinkedIn. Remember, in the present age, you cannot proceed without a network or a link. Get the attention of others, by your own work. Find yourself clearly through all the communications.
