\"warren.linkedin.social.media\"<\/a>You have likely never heard the name Harlan Hogan, but whether you know it or not you\u2019re almost certainly familiar with some of his work.\u00a0 Hogan is a voice actor, and among the many campaigns he\u2019s provided the voice for is a famous Head & Shoulders shampoo campaign in the 1980\u2019s.\u00a0 The tagline in that commercial went, \u201cYou never get a second chance to make a first impression.\u201d\u00a0 While that particular campaign is over 30 years old, it couldn\u2019t be more relevant in the age of social media.<\/p>\n

Like it or not, potential employers are reviewing your digital footprint\u2014and what they find is impacting hiring decisions.\u00a0 On professional networking sites like LinkedIn,\u00a0employers expect to see a professional image when they review your profile, and when they don\u2019t, it raises all kinds of red flags.\u00a0 Here are several common mistakes people make with their profile pictures.<\/p>\n

Here are the Common Mistakes to Avoid With Your LinkedIn Profile Photo:<\/h2>\n

No photo<\/b> \u2013 When LinkedIn first came into popularity, there was a great deal of debate over whether it was truly necessary to include a profile photo.\u00a0 The concern was that including a photo on your profile created the potential for employers to discriminate.\u00a0 While this fear still can\u2019t be entirely discounted, times have evolved and social media has become more commonplace.\u00a0 Profile photos have become almost a necessity.\u00a0 In fact, many LinkedIn groups administrators review profiles and will not admit new members that lack a profile picture, for fear that they may admit a fake profile and expose group members to a spam account<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2018Too\u2019 casual<\/b> \u2013 Not every employee wears a suit to work.\u00a0 That said, profile pictures in shorts, flip-flops and Hawaiian shirts are probably not what employers expect to see.\u00a0 Employers are looking to align themselves with employees they can trust to represent their brand in a professional manner, and there is a fine line which job seekers should be wary not to cross.<\/p>\n

\u2018Selfies<\/b>\u2019\u2014Selfies\u2014self-taken pictures, usually taken with smartphones\u2014are all the rage right now.\u00a0 While that\u2019s fine for more socially oriented sites like Facebook, Instagram, and, and maybe Twitter, it is not appropriate for professional networking sites.<\/p>\n

Images that are too small, poor quality, or badly cropped<\/b> \u2013 This includes pictures that are so small as to be nearly indistinguishable, pictures that are enlarged to the point that they become blurry or pixilated, and poorly cropped group pictures leaving disembodied arm, hand or shoulder in the frame.\u00a0 Again, this does not create the sort of positive, lasting impression that benefits your search.<\/p>\n

Group photos<\/b>\u2014Family pictures, group pictures, vacation photos from Disneyland, etc. \u00a0All fine for Facebook\u2014not so much for professional networking.<\/p>\n

Logos<\/b> \u2013 In some ways, this is similar to having no picture at all.\u00a0 Individual users would be best served to use an actual picture for their profile.<\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t necessary to engage a professional photographer to take your profile picture.\u00a0 It does mean that taking some time to select a picture that is appropriate, represents you well, and most importantly, takes your potential audience into consideration is a good idea that may serve you well in your search.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
