Update your
work experience
(2600 Characters)
Tell your professional story to motivate
your target audience to want to learn
more about you.
Write in the 昀椀rst person and provide
personal insights.
Share passions, accomplishments, and career
highlights. Think what you want to be known
for and use this to guide you.

Ensure your LinkedIn Pro昀椀le aligns
with your CV/Resume.
Ensure your job title represents your role to make it
easier for recruiters to 昀椀nd you. Think keywords!
Provide context when describing your role (size of
company, industry, and role scope) and list quanti昀椀able
accomplishments where possible. Link each role to the
company page and avoid sharing more than 15 years
of experience, unless it’s relevant to the role you are
seeking. This will help alleviate any age-related bias.
10
Skills and
endorsements
You can select up to 50 skills on pro昀椀le,
but it’s important to choose those most
relevant to the job role you are seeking
and your area of expertise.
Including at least 昀椀ve skills increases your chances
of being contacted by a recruiter by 33x.
Ask for
recommendations
Build your credibility through your
recommendations.
Contact relevant connections to ask for
a recommendation and don’t forget to update
them regularly so you always have recent ones
on your pro昀椀le.
Endorsements are often overlooked but they are
valuable for networking. Start a conversation with
your endorser by expressing gratitude. Additionally,
because recruiters use keywords to 昀椀nd candidates,
SKILLS and ENDORSEMENTS are more impactful
than recommendations when sourcing applicants.
