When connecting with professionals, different employers, and organizations, you want to present yourself as a professional. Having a professional headshot can help you achieve this. 

I feel professional, confident, and strong now that I have a nice headshot for my LinkedIn and LAS Connect profile. It makes my page look polished, professional, and clean. I feel good and prepared when reaching out to other professionals because my profile photo helps me make an excellent first impression and conveys my professionalism.

Where to put your headshot:  

Your professional headshot is perfect for LinkedIn, Google, YouTube, Skype, Twitter, etc. If you have a professional Facebook or Instagram, and even Zoom, those are more places to post your photo. It is important to remember that your social media is public and whatever is posted to the internet is there forever. You want to make sure that your presence online is something you wouldn’t mind future employers seeing. Posting a headshot is an excellent way for people to know what you look like if you never have the opportunity to meet them in person.
