Bolstering Your LinkedIn Profile

After completing this activity, you will:

• Be able to overhaul your LinkedIn profile.
• Maximize your reach to recruiters/hiring managers on LinkedIn.
• Have the link to LinkedIn’s free year of premium for veterans and servicemembers.

You may be wondering why you need a quality LinkedIn profile if you already have your Candidate Card on the Talent Spotlight. In addition to the Candidate Card’s snapshot of pertinent career-specific information, many recruiters and hiring managers will review both your resume and LinkedIn profile to get a holistic picture of who you are as a professional.

By bolstering your LinkedIn profile, you are giving yourself a leg up on the competition and can leverage the platform to its maximum capabilities. This activity will give you the tools you need to stand out on LinkedIn and increase your profile visibility.

For consideration, you can hide most sections of your LinkedIn profile here. On this same page, you can personalize your LinkedIn URL, removing the excess characters after your name.
