Keep your profile up to date.
According to a recent post on LinkedIn’s blog, LinkedIn members with a profile picture are 14x more likely to receive page views, while those who post skills are 13x more likely to have profile views compared to those who don’t.
Highlight recent experience.
Make sure your profile stays up to date with what you’re working on or recent accolades and experiences. Have you spoken at CMG recently? Add that to your profile!
Be comprehensive about current skills and objectives.
