5 MUST-KNOW LinkedIn Profile Tips for Job Seekers!
About this video
Su explains how job seekers can reach LinkedIn’s All-Star status — profiles he says are far more likely to be contacted and to surface in searches — through five fixes people assume are hard. He starts with a privacy tip: turn off sharing profile updates so colleagues are not alerted while you edit. First, build a strong photo and banner in Canva: remove the background with remove.bg, then either set the portrait over a clean gradient or over a blurred, darkened copy of the original so the subject pops, and use a Canva banner template at the current size. Second, rewrite the headline as title plus the value you bring, in one sentence. Third, fill the About section with keywords mined from at least ten job descriptions through a word cloud, structured as experience and value, three quantified examples, and the opportunities sought. Fourth, add five skills and get them endorsed, since only endorsed skills count toward All-Star and endorsements from people with the same skill weigh more. Fifth, claim a custom URL for your resume and email signature.
