 Do you want to create a professional LinkedIn profile, but you don't know how to start? Then this video is for you. My name is Tamar and I work at Student Career Services. In this video, I'm going to share with you what a great LinkedIn profile looks like and how you can create one for yourself. Let's get started. Tip number one. Make sure you're visible and easy to find, customize your URL to your profile. You can use this link in your email signature and put it on your resume. Tip number two. Use a professional profile photo and adjust the background photo to give an impression of who you are. Look upon it as an extended business card. The first impression is decisive, so make sure your personal brand is showing. Tip number three. The personal summary is very important. Make it short, clear, honest, but not too modest and use keywords. This might be the most important part of your LinkedIn profile because this is what recruiters read. Tip number four. Your headline must show how you want to be found. Use strong keywords that reflect who you are and what you're looking for. Point out your specialties and unique qualities. What you can do when you are looking for a job is write down available for, followed by the specific keywords. Tip number five. Make sure people can contact you and specify how they can do that. You could add your phone number, for example. Tip number six. Including specific skills on your LinkedIn profile is a great way to showcase your abilities. When a connection endorses these skills, it contributes to the strength of your profile and creating better opportunities to be visible. Tip number seven. Use recommendations to show on your profile, preferably for every work experience. People who view your profile will often read these to see what others have to say about your work. You can actively request recommendations from your first degree connections. Tip number eight. Become a member of LinkedIn groups and follow company profiles that match your field of expertise. You could further expand your network by engaging in interesting content which also strengthens your profile. Tip number nine. When your profile is complete, start building your network right away. Connect with people you know already and connect with recruiters of interesting companies. Make sure you always personalize your message when you start inviting people. And last but not least, tip number 10. Let recruiters know you are open for job opportunities. On the front page of your profile, there is a button called career interests. Put it on and list details about positions you are looking for. These were my 10 tips for a professional LinkedIn profile.
