beefing up my Linkedin profile

I think everyone on the planet has a linkedin profile, myself included. However, I have not done much with it besides create an account. With some extra time during my first week of school, I wanted to try to beef up my profile.

What I did

  • Added work experience and skills
    • I included soft skills and more technical ones
  • Started watching Learning Linkedin (on linkedin learning)
  • Change my profile and banner picture
    • Eventually, I need to update my headshot
  • Added my college details (degree type, AAS, awards, etc)
  • Connected with classmates/previous classmates to expand my network

I’ll admit, I definitely need to learn more about how to manage my LinkedIn profile. But I have a great start and hopefully will have more to add in the next months before graduation!

How do you clean up your LinkedIn profile? Any tips or tricks?
