Mistake #1No Profile Picture/ Bad Picture
©2012 LinkedIn Corporation. All Rights Reserved. 7
X X X X
Tip: Put up a professional picture of yourself• Preferably a head shot with light background• Wear your natural smile• Avoid excessive jewelry, sun-glasses, fancy landscapes in background etc• Do not have another person with you in the picture frame• Some one who comes in to meet you after viewing your profile picture should be able to
recognize you easily
![Page 8: Maximizing Your Presence On LinkedIn, Munish Sudan](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051512/5442a1c8afaf9ff3098b46d1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Mistake #2Vague/ Non-relevant Professional Headline
©2012 LinkedIn Corporation. All Rights Reserved. 8
Why is your headline so important?• It is your first impression on other people when they see you on LinkedIn.• It almost always follows the mention of your name, everywhere on LinkedIn – this is your
tagline!
Tip: Think the ‘Marketing’ way• Create a precise, powerful statement• Make yourself memorable• Excite the reader• If your Title & Organization’s brand are powerful, they could also form your headline

Mistake #3Boring Summary
©2012 LinkedIn Corporation. All Rights Reserved. 9
Keep it interesting & precise – It’s your elevator pitch!• Inject your personality into the Summary• Connect with the reader, create impact• Outline USPs – Use key words that your target audience would search for to find you• Keep it conversational – write from 1st person (unless your brand requires otherwise), Avoid
clichéd words
Tip: Have a format:• Introduce yourself & talk about who YOU are. Make people see you as an interesting
person. Talk about how you came to where you are today.• Talk about who THEY are – who do you help? Talk about who your target client is – Be
subtle here.• Finish by talking about what you offer. Don’t give away everything here – just talk about
what you mainly do, and how people can benefit from it.

Mistake #4Incomplete Description of Experience
©2012 LinkedIn Corporation. All Rights Reserved. 10
Your Career history tells your story:• Tells people about your career path• Adds to your professional image when you showcase your past work & results achieved• Allows your ex-colleagues to find you on LinkedIn easily
Tip: Complete this section in full. Think the ‘Sales’ way!• Include both current position & past positions• Detail specific accomplishments in each• Let type-ahead find your company, so you can connect with past colleagues
![Page 11: Maximizing Your Presence On LinkedIn, Munish Sudan](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051512/5442a1c8afaf9ff3098b46d1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Mistake #5No Mention of Skills & Expertise in the relevant profile section
©2012 LinkedIn Corporation. All Rights Reserved. 11
Why mentioning Skills & Expertise is important?• It helps to showcase your core strengths as a professional• Other professionals can endorse your skills on your profile that lends credibility to your
professional image
Tip: Have a list that’s consistent with your professional image• Target your strengths• Prioritize the skills/ expertise that you wish to mention• Do not fake
![Page 12: Maximizing Your Presence On LinkedIn, Munish Sudan](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051512/5442a1c8afaf9ff3098b46d1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Mistake #6No Recommendations
©2012 LinkedIn Corporation. All Rights Reserved. 12
Why Recommendations are important?• Adds to your professional image by letting viewers know what other professionals who
have worked with you think about you• Recommendations lend credibility to what you say about yourself• Recommendations that you write for others also impact your credibility – be careful &
honest when you recommend others
Tip: Keep a healthy mix• Only ask a recommendation from those who know you well. Give recommendations only to
those you know well & genuinely appreciate.• Be specific – Ask the referee to recommend you for something specific that you worked on
together. Ask them to include what happened as a result of your working together• Regularly manage your Recommendations and keep them relevant to your current work-
profile• Be prudent while recommending others

Mistake #7Excessive/ Irrelevant Group Memberships
©2012 LinkedIn Corporation. All Rights Reserved. 13
How are Groups important?• Allow you to learn & stay abreast through participation in industry/ domain specific
discussions with other relevant professionals• Allow you to position yourself as a subject matter expert
Tip: Stick to what’s relevant; Control your visibility• Only join groups that are relevant for you• Be judicious in deciding which Group memberships would you like to showcase on your
LinkedIn profile• Participate in relevant discussions and share expertise to increase your visibility• Be positive in outlook & constructive in approach
