William Arruda, cofounder of CareerBlast, advises updating your LinkedIn page annually. December or now, his seven most important recommendations still apply:
- Update your photo.
- Revise your summary.
- Update your current experience entry.
- Add multimedia.
- Record accomplishments.
- Evaluate your groups.
- Make your contacts current.

Doing these seven things annually has two big benefits. First, it reminds you of what you have accomplished and how you have grown in your career. Second, it ensures that when people use LinkedIn to get to know you, they are knowing the current you, not some outdated version of you from the past.
