# 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 ](https://www.photofeeler.com/)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](https://www.linkedin.com/in/chinarasatkeeva/)
* [Olga Bogatova](https://www.linkedin.com/in/olgabogatova/)
* [Aijan Junusheva](https://www.linkedin.com/in/junusheva/)
* [Meder Mamutov](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mamutov/)
* [Ainura Madylova](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ainura-madylova-44a45926/)
* [Tess (Mayall) Saville](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tessmayallsaville/)
* [Kainar Kamalov](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kainar-kamalov-598a7616/)
* [Timur Daurov](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tmdautov/)

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)
