LinkedIn Profile Tips for Creative Account Handlers & Planners

LINKEDIN PROFILE TIPS FROM THE ACCOUNT HANDLING TEAM by Lucy Salmon, recruitment consultant for Digital & Direct Account Handling roles


Need help with creating a great LinkedIn profile? Here are some of my top tips for standing out on your LinkedIn profile.











1. Add a good photo

"My first tip is to have a really nice picture on your LinkedIn profile. People are much more likely to want to LinkIn with you, to look at your profile and interact with you. If you have a picture it's like interacting with a person as opposed to just a profile."

2. Describe your skills in your job title section

"My next tip would be on the title section of your profile - this is the bit underneath your name."

"I would say that a lot of people just put simply what their job title is, but it would be far more effective if you actually use that section to describe what you do."

"So for example, someone who I might recruit for might have their title section as 'Account Manager specialising in Digital & Direct Marketing'."

3. Get recommendations from clients

"Another really good tip is to get as many recommendations as you can, and I would say don't just get recommendations from your colleagues."

"It's quite easy to get the person who sits opposite you or next to you or who you are mates with to write you a recommendation but it doesn't actually mean that much."

"If you can get recommendations from people who perhaps are clients that you've worked with, who can talk about a particular project that you've worked on, and what your involvement was in that and why it was so successful that would mean so much more than just a recommendation from a friend, relative, or the person that sits next to you!"
