how to create your linkedin profile - solo show
with taylor desseyn (solo)
- use your linkedin banner to show a personal detail like a hobby so you look human and memorable, not just another ai-style profile
- pick a profile picture that is current, happy, and professional looking so you don't catfish someone who later meets you on a call
- put your specific skills and target job title in the words under your name since that section is what recruiters actually search
- write the first few sentences of your about section before the see more cutoff with real impact and keywords, since many people never click to expand it
- ask for linkedin recommendations directly from people you worked with since multiple recent recommendations help build trust the same way restaurant reviews do
