Creating An Irresistible LinkedIn Profile

What does a private school, non-profit organization, and a construction company have in common? They were all participants of the Baton Rouge LinkedIn Lunch & Learn hosted by creative nerds at Chatterkick. In this workshop, partakers discovered the real benefits of creating an irresistible LinkedIn profile, who they should be connecting with, how to stand out, and even the opportunity to receive a new professional headshot. LinkedIn is often overlooked as a useful social media platform – you know you need to have it, you just may not know why you need to. That’s where Chatterkick came in – clarifying that facts from fiction, and to get the group on the right page.

Did you know?

  • LinkedIn has 500 million members.
  • People with professional headshots as their LinkedIn profile image receive 14 times more profile views.
  • Executives from all Fortune 500 companies are on LinkedIn.
  • LinkedIn users with at least five skills listed on their profile receive up to 17 times more profile views.

LinkedIn is a robust platform that can be used to connect with current colleagues, job hunt, or get into another industry. It summarizes your professional experience, while managing your career identity and enhancing your personal brand. The platform allows members to easily access knowledge and opportunities within their industry, as well as connecting with fellow talent. LinkedIn is a professional’s best friend.

We had fun with this during our Lunch & Learn session, and really feel like this candidate sounds like a winner. Don’t you think?

I’m a Zoo Keeper with 10 years of experience in both mosquitos and habitats. I have worked with several internationally recognized clients such as Kraft and Nike, and I been awarded “Turtle of the Year” three times in a row.

Colleagues know me as a highly energetic teammate who can always be trusted to come up with a new uniforms. To me, there is nothing more satisfying than serving bee colonies with the best honey combs. I spend a lot of time understanding the business of food and the customers it serves. I work well alone, but I’m at my best collaborating with families.

My educational background is snazzy and speaks volumes about my appreciation for amazing bosses, creativity, and the ever-important security.

Now it’s time to make your profile work for you. Chatterkick can help you jazz up your profile summary.
