LinkedIn photo
Our recommendations for photos written based on common real problems we saw:
Smile
Avoid
Wearing a suit
Photos that look like you are on vacation or in a nightclub
Photos where you are receiving an award
Photos where you are giving a speech
Photos where you are with another person and it may not be clear which person is you
Note that people from other countries may not know your gender based on your name
Graduation photos
Passport photos
We highly recommend using
Photofeeler
to get unbiased feedback on your photos. It's free, it just requires you to rate other people's photos too.
Examples of profile photos that we think are great:
Chinara Satkeeva
Olga Bogatova
Aijan Junusheva
Meder Mamutov
Ainura Madylova
Tess (Mayall) Saville
Kainar Kamalov
Timur Daurov
Our recommendation for LinkedIn cover photo (only based on real problems I saw):
Make sure it’s a high-resolution photo
Avoid
Sending a potential message you are interested in a different profession (entrepreneurship instead of engineering)
