1. Include a short but concise professional summary.
Think of your LinkedIn summary as the objective section of your resume.
In just a few sentences, it should give the reader a clear idea of who you are, what sets you apart, and what you're looking for from the viewer.

2. Include your most relevant experiences.
Many a times, we may have worked a couple of jobs or side hustles. Depending on your proposed career path, it is always proper to tailor your previous working experiences to your desired goals.

3. Highlight core skills, achievements and qualifications.
Use bullet points to highlight the core skills you’ve acquired or still acquiring.
Your achievements, using statistics and figures eg: increased sales by marginal growth of 25% within first 6months etc.

4. Use a professional profile picture.
LinkedIn is a core professional platform. Everyone there happen to be a ‘gentleman and lady’
Hence it will be unwise to use your Snapchat filtered picture or FaceApp edited pic.
Always use a sharp professional picture - with a smile.

5. Tell a compelling ‘story.’
Reflect on your unique selling points, on your competitive advantage, what stands you out from the crowd and why any top organisation should employ you.
If you haven’t got any USP or competitive advantage, you have to find a way to acquire them.
