How to Update Your LinkedIn Profile for Career Growth

LinkedIn is the #1 platform for professional visibility. In the Bay Area, recruiters often check your LinkedIn before your resume. If your profile is outdated, youโ€™re missing opportunities.

Hereโ€™s how to update your LinkedIn to attract the right opportunities.

Step 1: Craft a Keyword-Rich Headline
– Go beyond โ€œManager at X Company.โ€
– Example: โ€œMarketing Leader | Growth Strategy | Bay Area Tech.โ€

Step 2: Rewrite Your About Section as a Story
– Tell people who you are, what you do, and why it matters.
– Coaching helps bring out your unique strengths.

Step 3: Highlight Achievements, Not Duties
– Use metrics: โ€œIncreased sales by 30%โ€ > โ€œManaged sales team.โ€

Step 4: Add Skills, Recommendations, and Multimedia
– A strong profile has endorsements and proof of work.
– Posting thought leadership positions you as an industry voice.

Case Example:

A professional in Oakland updated their profile using our coaching. Within two weeks, they were approached by three recruiters โ€” and landed a new role in just 45 days.

Conclusion:

Your LinkedIn is your digital business card. Make sure it reflects your best self.
