As you reach this stage, you have successfully set up your account, but it\u2019s still bare. It doesn\u2019t show any information apart from the details you have initially provided during the registration process. <strong>Employers and coworkers check people\u2019s profiles to see if it matches their interest.<\/strong> If they find your profile empty during their 1-3 seconds viewing, highly likely they will pass through without saying \u201cHi\u201d and you will know that your opportunity to expand your network or get a new job is lost.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Make your LinkedIn profile catchy by using the right profile picture and adding necessary additional information such as contact information and a short description of who you are and what you do. Your profile picture must be clear with a clean background <strong>(Tip from LinkedIn! Put on the same outfit you&#8217;d wear to work).<\/strong> Your about section should give a brief summary of you.

But, of course, a successful LinkedIn profile does not end with you creating a WOW-worthy account. You will need to learn the art of networking and connecting to people through LinkedIn. Make sure to post the right posts (Remember! It\u2019s not Facebook, don\u2019t post your rants), and to respond and interact with anyone respectfully. Find that formula that works for you.
