LinkedIn Headline:
When was the last time you really looked at your LinkedIn headline or your profile photo? I encourage you to do it now. Not just glance at it, but ask yourself, “Would I contact me based on this first impression?”
In our latest roundtable, our team dives into two of the most underestimated areas of a LinkedIn profile: your headline and your photo. They may seem like the basics, but our team makes it clear that these seemingly small details carry big consequences. Recruiters often make snap judgments in seconds, long before they read a single line of your About section.
So, what is your photo saying before you ever say a word?
And that headline you have been using: does it sell your value or just state your job title? Could your choice of words be quietly self-sabotaging your visibility to both hiring managers and the bots that decide who gets seen first? In an age when every keyword counts, the difference between “looking for new opportunities” and “I help teams deliver high-quality results on time and within budget” might be far greater than you think.
Our team unpacks real examples of what works and what doesn’t. We also discuss why authenticity matters just as much as precision. Whether you are job searching, networking, or simply building your professional brand, your LinkedIn photo and headline might be doing more talking than you realize.
