If you are working, you belong on LinkedIn. It is an absolute must for everyone engaged in the business community. While it can be the link to your next promotion or your next job, I have found it to be a great continuous learning source and an outstanding networking tool. Once there, it is important to keep your profile current and the end of the year is a great time to add those updates.

Changing your headshot annually is a good habit to get into. You may have changed your hair style or adopted a more business casual style – or it’s just time for a new pic. When you do update it, remember to name it yourname.jpg before you upload it. That will help it show up on page one of a Google search on your name (thanks to blended search) and also in Google image searches.
INSIGHTS: Keep in mind LinkedIn is a business site, so your approach should always be businesslike. Save the rest of that stuff for the truly social or dating sites.
