Let\u2019s look at these steps more in details<\/p>\n
1) Complete your Profile<\/strong><\/h2>\nHaving a complete LinkedIn profile considerably increases your visibility in LinkedIn search results.
\nMost importantly this site has a percentage tracker to let you know how complete is your profile.<\/p>\n
\n- \n
Description
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\nAdd proper Description highlighting your journey<\/strong>, key achievement & strengths<\/strong>.<\/p>\nKeep it crisp though, so as the visitor gets a gist about work details.<\/p>\n
Mostly for details he shall scroll further.<\/li>\n

Experience
\n<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\nMost important, detail the jobs you have done with designation & timelines<\/strong> in this section.<\/p>\nIt will help the visitor understand your background, designation, profile, location, company etc.<\/p>\n
Although ex-Colleagues would be more than happy to connect here & engage too.<\/li>\n
- \n
Photo<\/strong><\/h3>\nKindly put a pic with professional look in a suit<\/strong> & not some holiday pic,this is the most crucial point to remember.<\/p>\nIt is always better to put a face to a name, though you can relate more.<\/li>\n
- \n
Contact Info
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\nDo share<\/strong> your contact information<\/strong> so that your connections can reach you.<\/p>\nShare your not so private contact details like blog, twitter<\/strong> handle etc. as they are displayed to people who are not connected to you too.<\/li>\n- \n

I would recommend to spend time religiously on this to get maximum benefits. Some useful tips for engagement-<\/p>\n
\n- \n
Birthday
