Is it time for you to update your LinkedIn Profile Photo?
LINKEDIN PROFILE PHOTO // Is it time for you to update your LinkedIn Profile Photo? 🤔I recommend that you do this about every three years 📆and it’s not about your age or appearance, it’s about your energy and enthusiasm. 💯
So please take the photo indoors 🏠and think of something fabulous 🌟and smile with your teeth showing and get this part of your eyes to crease.
Ideally you should be wearing a high neck garment.
This will frame the face and put the focus back on your eyes and stop people looking at your neck.
I also encourage you to take as many shots as it takes until you’re happy.
I had a professional photographer 📸take 70 shots before they found one that I liked.
Then make sure you put it on LinkedIn with your head at the top of the circle, your eyes on the one third line, and just the head and shoulders in shot.
➡️If you would like some extra guidance, please reach out – up to 65% of the time spent looking at your LinkedIn Profile is spent looking at your photo!
