Fact: LinkedIn users with complete profiles are 40 times more likely to receive opportunities through LinkedIn. (This is partly because complete profiles get ranked higher when someone does a search.)

Fact: A recent Jobvite survey found that 93{60023c7b1960a5fb9dae172379ca3153ba00fa4679a2b03978f428523be766b5} of recruiters use LinkedIn to source candidates. (No surprise there.)

So, whether you’re a W-2 employee, a 1099 contractor, small biz owner or job seeker, you need to confirm that your profile is 100{60023c7b1960a5fb9dae172379ca3153ba00fa4679a2b03978f428523be766b5} complete.

According to my source (LinkedIn), a complete profile on LinkedIn includes:

  • Your industry and location
  • An up-to-date current position (with a brief description)
  • Two past positions
  • Your education (include your high school, or coursework if you’re a “some college,” like me)
  • Your skills (minimum of 3)
  • A profile photo (no animals in these photos, please, and a smile is best)
  • At least 50 connections
