LinkedIn is one of the best professional platform where you get an opportunity to meet and greet people around the globe.

To use it clever or not, it’s up to you. Personally I was building my profile over the last two years. I used to explore the options in LinkedIn and made my profile to look in a better way than before. I just thought of sharing my own lessons to you. Here you go!

  1. Add your full name to your account. You have option to add “Nick” name as well.
  2. Add a headshot professional picture of yours.
  3. Update the cover picture. It can be related to your nature of work or your brand/organization logo.
  4. Write a standout “Bio/Headline”. For instance I made mine in a JSON format to express my love towards API. The roles are best in describing me. I added “Mom” since that’s my top priority role, and it helped many Moms to connect with me easily. Many of friends/connections updated their bio after me as well :-)
