The Hidden Power of a Great LinkedIn Headshot
Most people think their LinkedIn profile is about their experience, their resume, and their skills. In reality, the first thing people look at is your photo.
Before someone reads your job title, your experience, or your education, they look at your face. In many cases, your headshot determines whether someone clicks on your profile, sends you a connection request, or keeps scrolling.
Your headshot is your digital handshake.
