LinkedIn Profile – Just Have One!

When your career takes a major shift, it is tempting to create a second LinkedIn profile to reflect the change. Don’t do it! Recently I started working with a client who changed companies. To distinguish herself from her former professional identity, she created a second LinkedIn profile. Her original profile was quite robust, with over 500 connections. By the time she sought my help, she had over 200 connections on her second profile. What’s a person to do in this situation? Sadly, it is complicated.   Duplicate LinkedIn Profile - Use the LinkedIn Help Center Want to know if you [...]

Your Professional Photo Enhances Your Personal Brand

Does your professional photo represent you well? Remember, your photo is one of the most important elements of your personal brand. I am frequently disappointed with both the quality of the profile photos I find on LinkedIn and other social sites. Too often these photos show the person in a casual environment, sometimes with family members and friends. At times, the way the person looks in the photo is not the way they show up in real life. Sometimes people use a variety of photos across their social sites, website, and other online environments. The better approach is to use the same photo on all sites (except [...]
