But when should you change your photo? Check out this handy guide to help you decide when it's time for a new LinkedIn profile picture!
Your profile photo is the first thing people see when they view your online application. How often should you change it? We asked several experts and got a variety of answers!
1 Change It If It Doesn’t Appear Like You
You want to make sure that your profile photo reflects the best version of yourself, because it'll signal how current you are. If someone just threw one up without caring about what's appropriate or not-they might have old photos from five years ago where their hair color was different than now; if there are no new pictures at all then people will think something is wrong with them too!
As Jo Anne Funch says on Marketing Dish 's blog: "I recommend maintaining relatively Up To Date profiles." This means keeping hairstyles change over time so be sure to update those images regularly instead of tired classic selfies wherever somebody can see!
2 Change It At least Every 2 Years
When you are looking to update your LinkedIn profile, it is important that the photo reflects who you currently look like. If possible try not to change photos too frequently in order maintain trust with followers and potential employers!
You should also select a professional photographer so they can produce high-quality images of themselves for use on social media sites like Facebook or Twitter as well as publicly accessible websites such as employee databases where professionals present themselves honestly competing against other talented candidates."
Deb Leight helps people navigate the internet and computer applications. The best way to do this, according to her clients who have asked for help with social media profiles on LinkedIn as well other sites like Facebook or Twitter, is by showing them how they can make their photo look good in a professional manner while still being accurate about what it will actually take (time-wise) before you see any results from your efforts - which might not always be something we want!
The more you show off about what makes your business different from others in the industry, the better. Showing that there's creativity and originality to how they do things can help people decide whether or not this person is worth consulting for any future needs!
3 Change Often to Gain Attention From Your Followers
LinkedIn Corporate Communications Manager Yumi Wilson says to change your photo often and never leave it for too long, or else connections will start forgetting about you! I couldn’t agree more.
When I see a profile picture change on LinkedIn (which happens sometimes), it always prompts me to check out who is behind the updated image because they deserve some recognition as well."
You can do what Yumi and Debbie did by having 3 or 4 outfits at your photo shoot, get multiple looks that will help cover all of your bases!
A headshot is the first thing people see of you and should look like who you really are.
Whether it’s changed every few months or years, make sure to keep your professional photos up-to-date so they reflect positively on all work being promoted online!
