    YOUR LINKEDIN CHECKLIST:

    LinkedIn is one of the best places to start building an online personal brand you can be proud of and which gets you noticed by the right people. This checklist is designed to help
    you create a profile which attracts the right people and opportunities.

    Element It works Needs work The action I will take

    1. Your profile picture – no grey shadows, please. Include a


    passport-style picture of you only (no pets and kids). And let it
    be recent (last 2 years)

    2. Your LinkedIn banner – this is the space above your picture.


    Use that space to showcase who you are and what you do. (A
    great free tool which offers you a template to do this is
    Canva.com)
    3. Your headline – LinkedIn defaults to your latest job and title.
    For optimal results, change this. Instead consider including all
    the keywords or job titles a recruiter might search for. Or, tell a
    story of who you are, who you help and the results you provide.
    4. About Section – Write in 1st person. Talk about who you are,
    who you help, your achievements and the work you are looking
    for. Summarize your skills and include a call to action. For
    example, to discuss your IT project email me on XXXXX.

    5. Your Experience - Showcase your achievements first, then talk


    about the roles and responsibilities in your work, internship,
    volunteer opportunies or leadership positions. Where possible,

    use numbers to show your results. For example, grew


    membership by 10% from 100 to 110.

    6. Your Skills - highlight the top 3 skills for your ideal job. Ask
    your connections to endorse you.

    7. Recommendations – Ask for at least 5 recommendations. These


    are also known as testimonials. Consider people you’ve worked
    with before who know your work ethics and standards. For
    example, your boss, lecturer

    URL.

    9. All Sections Complete – All Star Profile.
