Head forward and looking at the camera with a nice smile is all you need for a good profile picture. Simple is king when it comes to taking a professional picture. My YouTube search history:īuilding the Best Profile Getting a good Headshot for Your LinkedIn Profile Picture At the end of this article I will link to the YouTube videos that helped me. There was so much more to it than that though. I knew the basics of what was needed from looking at other peoples profiles: A good profile picture, about section, skill section, and work experience. The first thing to do when diving into a new topic is to hop on YouTube and make a few select targeted searches. Knowing that I would have very few connections starting off a brand new account and my profile needed to look good to gain more, I did what I do best, research! Now it's time to share my research with you, so you can take your account to the next level, even if it's new. It was very important to me for my profile to look and feel professional to get the right image of myself out there. Taking a look around the site, I quickly realized it was built differently than any other social media website I have used in the past. If you're new to LinkedIn like I am, creating a professional looking profile seems like an almost impossible task.
