What if I can't see your LinkedIn face?

Optimize your LinkedIn profile now. Or don't act surprised when it isn't working.

What if I can't see your LinkedIn face?

Long story short

  • If your face isn’t taking up half the profile circle, mobile users literally can’t see you.

  • Make awkward digital eye contact in your photo; it actually makes people trust you more.

  • You have exactly 45 chars in your headline to explain what you do before getting cut.

  • Stop using confusing corporate jargon; just tell people how you fix their problems.

  • LinkedIn is needy; fill out every boring profile section to get on good side of algorith.

So what now?

  1. Put on sweatpants, grab a snack, and sink into your couch.

  2. Crop your profile photo so close that your face is impossible to ignore.

  1. Dumb down your headline until a fifth-grader can understand how you make money.

  2. Mindlessly click every single gray pencil icon to fill out the boring data sections. And do not miss the most important “pencil”: the “Add section” button.

  3. Take a well-deserved nap knowing the algorithm is finally working for you.
