Make your LinkedIn profile stand out
Put your best foot forward with an up-to-date LinkedIn profile that highlights your latest experience, training, and accomplishments. Make sure to select a recent photo for your profile, and update your “About” section to tell your story, showcase your skills, and highlight your career goals.
Don’t forget to fill out optional sections that are relevant to you (ex: volunteering, publications, honors, and awards).

The “Open to Work” feature lets recruiters and your network know you are searching for a job.
You can also add an #OpenToWork photo frame to your profile picture and post that you’re open to new opportunities with the hashtag #OpenToWork.
Build and engage your LinkedIn network
Start by building out your network and adding people like family, friends, past coworkers, and classmates. If you’ve added your school, experiences, or organizations to your profile, you can see former classmates and co-workers to connect with on the My Network page or by using Search.
