Your LinkedIn Profile Speaks Before You Do—Is It Saying the Right Thing?

Before a recruiter calls, before a hiring manager reads your resume, and before you even walk into an interview—your LinkedIn profile has already spoken.

In today’s market, your profile isn’t just a digital business card. It’s your reputation. Your introduction. Your pitch. And if it’s unclear, outdated, or underwhelming—it’s costing you.

Your headline is prime real estate. It’s tempting to cram your headline with buzzwords and job titles, but that can come off as trying too hard. Clarity beats cleverness. Your headline should make it easy to understand who you are and what you do—without sounding like you’re auditioning for a commercial.

Copy-pasted jargon doesn’t connect. Your summary should sound like a real person—you.

Just like your resume, your LinkedIn experience section should focus on impact—not just duties.

A blurry selfie or blank banner isn’t neutral—it’s negative. Your visuals say a lot about how seriously you take your professional image.

You don’t have to be a thought leader—but a silent profile is easily forgotten. Engage. Post. Comment. Let people know you're here.

Your LinkedIn profile is speaking on your behalf—every day, to people you may never meet. Make sure it’s telling the story you want it to tell.

Don’t just show up. Show up strong.
