LinkedIn has
300 million professionals vying for their desired positions in the corporate,
industrial or public sector. Social media is a product of technological
achievement. The trouble is, most of them are disorganised.
LinkedIn
allows you to be in a professional social circle where you look your
professional best. However, donning your best suit on and your best foot
forward won’t guarantee good hits for legal services in LinkedIn. You might
have forgotten these:
1. Professional
Headline
In LinkedIn,
you’ll be wearing your best suit, your best smile and your best “I am your
man/woman” appearance. But if you don’t have a sentence to sell yourself, you’ll
be next to the people who don’t have photographs of themselves.
You’ll be
barely noticed.
Put some words
with that smile. Make it count. Say everything about yourself, your background
and what you do and why you do it efficiently.
2. The
Points Exactly
A sentence in
your headline is enough because you are a person who is straight to the point.
Businessmen, fellow employees, colleagues and hiring managers don’t like
cluttered, voracious headlines.
A few
sentences that show your personality and your goals will suffice.
Show you have
knowledge, insight and what you can do to get the job done through a sentence.
It’s difficult, but it pays off greatly!
3. Frequency
Like social media
profiles, it is annoying to see multiple posts from the same person. On LinkedIn,
it’s more annoying if a legal professional makes multiple posts about
themselves without thinking twice about their posting schedule.
People perceive LinkedIn not as an Internet
Hangout but rather a from-time-to-time avenue for your thoughts.
