Five Photos You Should Never Use on LinkedIn…because they're not professional enough
1. A photo of yourself in the mirror. Selfies in general are too casual, unless you' can't TELL it's a selfie.
2. Any photo with a crazy filter on it. If you want to Photoshop out a pimple or something, that's okay. But your LinkedIn photo should show what you ACTUALLY look like.
3. A photo where you look super-intense. It's okay to look serious, you just don't want to look TOO serious. According to experts, smiling makes you seem more trustworthy.
4. A full-body action shot, like a photo where you're about to bungee jump. On LinkedIn, it's important for people to see your face and eyes. So you're better off sticking with a boring headshot.
5. A photo with your pet. Unless you're a veterinarian, it's not professional enough for LinkedIn. So save your cat photos for Instagram and Facebook . . . where STILL no one wants to see them. But at least it won't cost you a job.
