How to Fix Your LinkedIn
MPM Minute (9/52)
You have years of experience.
But still your LinkedIn is getting rejected.
As an ex-recruiter from Govt. of Canada,
I've helped 3,000+ job seekers since 2021, and 80% of them have the same broken LinkedIn profile. Generic headline. No banner. About section that says absolutely nothing.
In fact, Stuti from our MPM community didn't even apply for a job. Because her LinkedIn was optimized, a recruiter found her and reached out directly. Job offer in 5 days.
And you can do the same by making these 7 changes.
7 Sections Recruiters Actually Look At:
1. Banner
Add something that reflects your field
Ideas: Your industry, industry pic and more
2. Headline
This is NOT your job title
Follow this format: “Aspiring role | certification | software | skills”
Keep it clean and searchable
3. Profile Picture
60% face, 40% shoulder
Use this prompt:
“Professional LinkedIn headshot, photorealistic, confident and approachable expression, executive presence, direct eye contact, neutral modern background (light gray or soft gradient), clean studio lighting, natural skin texture with subtle imperfections, realistic proportions, sharp focus, 85mm lens look, shallow depth of field, shoulders-up framing, subject centered, business-casual to executive attire, minimal accessories, no filters, no blur, no dramatic shadows, no over-retouching, modern corporate aesthetic, high-resolution”
4. About Section
4 short paragraphs, nothing more
Who you are, What you do, Results, Goals
5. Experience
Copy bullets from your resume
Use the same format: Task + Result + Skills used
Recruiters cross-check this with your resume
6. Skills
Have 50+ skills (both technical and soft)
Why 50? LinkedIn's algorithm rewards it
7. Featured Section
Include:
Post (About Your Professional Achievements)
Link (Your Portfolio)
Media (Your Certificates)
Most people skip this. Don't be most people
Your LinkedIn = Your Public Resume
This is where recruiters decide if you're worth shortlisting
