#016  Get Hired Faster: Make your LinkedIn Profile Stand Out with These 5 Steps

Let me tell you the five key steps to optimize your LinkedIn profile and improve your search ranking on both LinkedIn and Google.

Step 1: Use a professional headshot. You need a profile photo so that others can connect your name with a face and you are not overlooked.

Step 2: Incorporate relevant keywords and skill sets that you want to be recognized for throughout your profile. 

Step 3: Craft a clear headline using keywords and even emojis to describe who you are and what values you have to offer

Step 4: Ensure your profile is complete and up to date, including your contact details, location, about section, and experience with relevant skills. 

Step 5: Be an active user by connecting and engaging with other LinkedIn members. Participate in relevant groups and follow companies you are interested in joining. 

I hope this helps!
