First, play in the big time and create a brand! There are lots of people out there with the same title you have, but very few who have a brand that demonstrates results.
Don't put just your job title under your name.
That doesn't make you distinctive nor memorable.
Put your brand right up front.
For example, I recently helped a jobseeker who was a city manager.
The only thing under his name on his linked in profile was his job title.
What's there now? "City manager good under pressure with an intact sense of humor.
" Which one is more likely to make him stand out from all the other city managers on linked in? Which gives him some personality right away in just a few words? Which one would you be more interested in talking to? Your Summary can make you desirable.
Second, make your summary concise and compelling.
Don't ramble on until you see you've run out of space.
Try to tell the reader about the problems you solve and the results you get in about 4-6 lines.
Be sure to include the major key words people will be searching for so they can find you.
Spend just a little time.
You'll see how just a little information actually makes you more desirable to recruiters and hiring managers.
Everyone loves an "extra".
And finally, show them something extra.
Add some articles or presentations you've done that represent your expertise.
List relevant books you're reading to show you're staying current and always learning.
Conclusion: With these kinds of changes, your LinkedIn profile presents you to the recruiter or person you want to network with as someone they should talk to.
Since your profile speaks very loudly about you, make sure it's saying something important and exciting.
