Ten ways to improve your LinkedIn profile: use a real photo, write a clear tagline, list your GPA and leadership roles, add company logos to jobs, write a mission-driven bio with portfolio links, and post regularly about wins, lessons, and failures.
10 out of 10 ways to upgrade your LinkedIn profile, but it gets increasingly more niche. Get a good profile photo. Make sure that it shows your face clearly, it's professional, and it doesn't look like AI. A good clean tagline: major at school or role at company. You don't need a bunch of random things. In your educational history, include impressive stats like GPA, clubs, leadership positions. List your experiences. Make sure that the logos are not a gray picture. List your specific contributions in bullet point form. Add a bio about your mission, who you are, link to your portfolio or your personal website if you have one. Include paper links if you've been published before, news articles if you've been featured in the press. Start posting about your achievements, your lessons, your experiences, even your failures so that you'll stand out amongst your peers. Start building an online presence and you can even monetize your LinkedIn platform. I share all of my LinkedIn growth tips for free. Make sure to follow for more.
