If you are currently employed, looking for work or your own boss you need a great profile headshot. This is important-you want your customers and potential employers to meet you virtual before in person. On linkedIn you will see many headshots—many not so great ones and a few fantastic ones. Also you’ll see many profiles with an outline—no profile photo at all. If you have a great headshot you will stand our from the crowd.

A good professional headshot is important on business sites like LinkedIn. Selfies just won’t make the cut and please don’t put up a photo from your latest vacation. Sure it’s fun to share these on sites like FaceBook but LinkedIn is a professional business networking site—please take the time to get a professional headshot. You want a nice clean pleasant, engaging headshot. 

We offer several headshot packages but the popular Basic Headshot is perfect for sites like LinedIn. You want a tight head and shoulders photo so when the photo is cropped to fit into LinkedIn you can still clearly see your face. Usually potential employers look at LinkedIn profiles first before anything else. Make sure you change your preferences so all LinkedIn members can view your profile photo—this is especially key if you own your business or you are actively searching for a new job.

 It also helps if you fill out your entire LI profile. Be sure to add not only your past and current employers but volunteer work you may have done in addition to awards and other information. Be succinct yet give details in your bio about what you currently do and/or what you are wanting to do in a future job.

Be proactive- keep your LinkedIn profile current —both the information as well as your headshot. You want to be ready for that next job offer! Contact us for more information about getting your headshot done.
