relevant information into your profile.
 Add a Photo.
You can add a photo (a headshot is recommended or upload a
larger photo and edit it) to your LinkedIn profile.

The Professional Summary section of your profile is a good way to
highlight your experience. Select an Industry, because recruiters
often use that field to search.
