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 If your profile is outdated, youโre missing opportunities.
Hereโs how to update your LinkedIn to attract the right opportunities.
Step 1: Craft a Keyword-Rich Headline
– Go beyond โManager at X Company.โ
– Example: โMarketing 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: โIncreased sales by 30%โ > โManaged 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.
