A good photo makes
for a good first impression
1. Your
photo
should
look
like
you.
(Could
I
iden)fy
you
if
we
were
to
meet
for
coffee?)
2. Should
be
a
professional
headshot,
but

have
to
be
(refer
to

Your
profile
is
14x
more
likely
to
be
viewed
on
LinkedIn
if

24. Tips for a Great Profile Photo
1. You
should
be
FACING
FORWARD,
not
the
back
of
your
head,
not
a
side
profile,
not
you
siWng
far
away
or
a
pic
where
you
cropped
out
a
loved
one
because
you
looked
good.
2. No
sunglasses,
hats,
dogs,
-‐-‐
JUST
YOU
3. Your
face
should
FILL
THE
FRAME,
a
good
rule
of
thumb
is
take
photo
from
the
neck
up
4. Choose
APPROPRIATE
ATTIRE
for
your
industry.
If
you
don’t
normally
wear
a
suit
and
most
peeps
don’t
in
your
industry,
then
don’t
wear
a
suit.
5. Make
sure
the
BACKGROUND
is
not
distrac)ng.
(no
palm
trees,
fences,
boats,
etc.)
