💡 Career Tip of the week💡
Selecting a professional profile picture for LinkedIn

Let’s break down the importance of a professional profile picture on your LinkedIn page. 

Your LinkedIn profile picture is your first impression— you need to make it count.

Think of it like choosing your character in a game: would you go into a quest where you need to have a certin kind of clothing with your character looking unprepared?

Absolutely not.

The same applies to your professional image. Your photo is often the first thing recruiters or hiring manager's see, and it can make or break their decision to learn more about you.

Here’s what you need for a winning profile pic:

🔸 Show your face clearly. No shades, hats, or mysterious lighting. People want to see the real you—this builds trust.

🔸 Keep it professional. It doesn’t have to be a corporate headshot but avoid using casual or overly playful photos. A good rule of thumb: dress as you would for an interview.

🔸 Smile! A warm and approachable expression can set a positive tone, making you look more open and confident.

🔸 Consistent branding. If you’re building a personal brand, your profile picture should align with your overall image across other platforms. Cohesion is key!

Don’t have the right picture yet? I offer LinkedIn Profile Optimization to make sure your entire profile, from the picture to the headline, shines and attracts the right connections.

I can also make you a banging banner.

So, tell me does your current LinkedIn profile picture make you look like a protagonist or just an NPC ?
