There are a lot of advantages of adding a video to your Linkedin profile:
- make you stand out when looking for work/freelance work
- people really see the way you are – a lot easier than reading a resume
Here’s a short step-by-step video:
Step by step:
- Login into linkedin
- Go to your profile -> edit profile
- Scroll down to “Applications” -> click on “add an application”
- Select “Google Presentation.” Install the application
- Click the link “Go to application”
- Either select “Create a presentation”, or select an existing presentation made in your Google Docs account
- If you select “Create a Presentation,” you will be taken to the Google docs site and a blank, untitled presentation will appear. Click “Insert”, and select “Video.”
- Add video from list
- Click the “Share” button at the top and select “Publish/Embed”
- Save
Yes I know, I know, I did not add my video yet 🙁
Thanks for the tip! Come to think of it, I haven’t logged on to my Linkedin page for such a long time now, and I might just do a major sprucing up one of these days.
