steps to rock the most influential professional network
Jérémie Lorrain

2. Linked
Overview
260 millions users in 200 countries
200 conversations per minute
94% recruiters look at Linkedin profiles

3. 1
Show them facts
« responsible » & « creative » are the most-used adjectives on Linkedin
Don’t tell how great you are - show us links, pictures, slides or figures
Build yourself a sales page - you’re the product

4. 2
Get it 100% completed
Take time to complete each profile section - nothing’s worst than an empty profile
Mention your work experiences, education, projects, awards & skills
Be original with your summary - tell us your story
(inspiring book, anecdote, funny fact, etc.)
Give people a way to get in touch with you

5. 3
Look at the camera
Upload a nice consistent picture showing your confidence
Only you please
and don’t change it too often

6. 4
Grow your network
Your credibility starts with your former companies’ members search for them and connect
Use the « People You Might Know » Linkedin tool
Personalize your message when contacting would-be connections
Take a glimpse at their profile first and find a common interest
Explain how do we know? How can we be helpful to each other?
This way, I got in touch with world’s largest companies’ HR Directors

7. 5
Get endorsed
Message your ex co-workers,
bosses & clients to be
recommended

8. 6
Be findable
Create a distinctive title for your profile
- How can you help others?
Keep your real full name
displayed
Use keywords on your description
Edit your settings
Make sure your profile link is clear - your full name
should appear instead of a bunch of numbers
Add this link on top of your résumé

9. 7
Get involved
Search for groups & companies that interest you and contribute to the discussions
Think of the help you can bring to the community - post your articles

10. 8
Stay tuned
Building a profile and leave is useless be proactive
Update your information,
congratulate your connections & share
relevant content

11. Check out influencers profiles to get inspired
Boost your profile by adding
the link to Brandyourself
