It’s a word that is often tossed around but here on LinkedIn, branding yourself is super important.

A big part of branding yourself is your LinkedIn profile.

Here are a few questions to ask yourself in regards to your LinkedIn profile.

1. Is my profile picture over a year old?
If it is, time to change it!

2. What does my banner image say about me and what I do?
Skyline picture? Picture of the mountains?
No text to define what people get when they work with you?
Time to change it!

3. Is my headline my job title?
Try searching that exact same job title here on LinkedIn. Chances are there are a LOT of people using the same job title. What sets you apart from the crowd?

Time to brand yourself here because the goal should be the unicorn, the rainbow, or the pink or purple graphic among all the gray icons.

How are you different than everyone else?
