Recruiters might receive thousands of job applications each day, but only a few profiles stand out and get noticed. Only these people receive a callback. Do you know why? It's because of their well-built profile. Around 72% of companies hire employees from

LinkedIn, and 63% of companies check their candidates' LinkedIn profiles before offering them a job. So, whether you're a job seeker or an entrepreneur looking for business connections, having a good LinkedIn profile is very important. In this video, I'm going to show you how to

create a great LinkedIn profile that can stand out among others and get noticed by employers. So make sure you watch this video till the end to learn how to do it. I'm Brand from Learners, and let's get started now. The first thing that catches people's attention is your profile

picture; it's like your first impression. So, people with professional-looking profile pictures get way more attention than those without one. In fact, they get up to 21 times more views and receive up to nine times more connection requests. So go ahead and add a high-quality

profile photo of yourself. Don't worry if the background isn't good; you can use an AI tool like Adobe Firefly to help you create the perfect background for your photo. Let me show you how. Let's go to firefly.adobe.com, select 'generator,' fill, drag and drop your

photo. Now let's change the outfit. Just select the area like this, and here type what kind of outfit you want. Click 'generate,' click here to find more options, then click 'keep.' Now, to change the background, just click here, and the background will be removed. Then describe what type of background

You want to click 'Generate', then click 'Keep', and a professional profile picture is ready. Just download the image, go back to LinkedIn, upload it, and then the next important tip is your banner image. Having a professional-looking banner can really make you stand out among other profiles. Choose a banner

that reflects your industry. Keep it visually clean and avoid excessive text and logos. I'll show you how to create one using Canva. Just click the link below this video and click 'LinkedIn background photo'. Here you will find different LinkedIn banner templates; you can select anything you want. I'm going to

select this one. Now let's say you want to edit this text; so simply select it and add your own text. Once you're done, click 'Share', then click 'Download'. Okay, now let's upload it on LinkedIn. Click this icon, click 'Edit profile background', then select your banner

and click 'Apply', and your banner will be updated.  Next up is your profile URL. As you can see here, this default URL has no meaning; it's just random numbers. You can create a custom URL using your name so that your profile appears higher in the

Google searches. For example, this one is easier to find and remember than this. It's very easy to do that; just click the pencil icon, then again click on it, change the URL, and click 'Save'. Now go here, and if you click 'Refresh', you can see that the URL has

been changed. This next step is really important, and it's your headline. It's one of the first things that people see on your profile, and instead of just listing your job title, you can showcase your expertise and what you're really good at. Now, if you're stuck and don't

Know how to create the perfect headline for your LinkedIn profile? Don't worry; there's a great tool that can help you create eye-catching headlines based on your profile. So let's check it out. Here, you need to enter your name and a brief summary of your current

role and work highlights. You can also copy the content from your resume and paste it here and click 'save' once you're done. To generate the headline, just click here, and you will get a lot of headline suggestions for your profile. Just choose the one you like and add it to your

profile. This one is more engaging, so let's copy it, go back to LinkedIn, click here, paste it, and click 'save'. As you can see, our headline has been changed. All right. Another important thing on your profile is the 'About' section. This is where you can describe

a few words about yourself. Keep it concise and use bullet points. Also, use relevant keywords in your 'About' section, like job titles, location, and key skills, so that recruiters can find you easily. Just click the profile section, go to 'Core', then click 'Add about', and here you can describe your

experience and skills, and you can also mention the achievements you made. With Grammarly, you can generate personalized content based on your profile. So let's go back to Grammarly, where we have generated our headline. Now scroll down, and here you'll find the 'About me' generator. Just click

'Create content,' and as you can see, we have three different versions. If you want more versions, you can click 'Regenerate' here. Once you get the one you like, just copy it, go back to LinkedIn, and add it to your profile. The next step is to add your top

Skills: Correctly pick three to four strong skills that you really excel at and add them to your profile. This helps recruiters quickly grasp your strengths and get you the right opportunities. It's a bonus if you get endorsements from your friends and

colleagues, especially from those who share the same skills. Those endorsements really mean a lot. When you get endorsed, this is how it will look. Now, if you need any help describing your skills, Gravity WR can help you. Once again, just head back to Gravity, right, and here you

can see the profile skills generator. So let's click 'Create Content,' and you can see it has given a list of skills which suit your profile. Now go back to LinkedIn and add all the skills that you want to showcase to others. Once you're done, click 'Save.' Now, if you scroll down, you can see

that the above section has been updated with your top skills. You can also add your education and your profile picture section. The next step is a 'Featured' section. Here you can share anything that you created which you want to show to your recruiters, whether it's a website

you've built, a blog you've written, or something that you're proud of, and it'll appear on your profile like this. Just head over to the 'Recommended' section and go to the 'Featured' section. Click on the plus symbol. Now here you will find different options to choose from. You can share a

post, showcase an article, add a link, or even include an image. I'm going to share my blog link and click 'Add a link.' Now go to the blog, copy the link, paste it here, then add a small description and click 'Save.' Now click here, and you can see the blog that we

Just created in the feature section. The next step is to add your certifications and licenses. If you have completed any certifications, you can showcase them on your profile like this: Go to the profile section, just head over to the "Recommended" section and select "Licenses and Certifications." Fill in the

details and save them, and your certificate will be added. If you don't have any certifications, no worries! There are some great courses available online. I've given the links for you in the description below. You can take any of these courses you want and add them to your profile.

Okay, once your profile is all set, what's the next step to stand out and grab more opportunities? Simple: just stay active on LinkedIn! It's so easy. Share a post regularly; it could be any updates, articles, or even thoughts about your industry. Regular activity keeps you

visible. So next, let's see how you can create a post on LinkedIn. Just go home, click here, and you can start creating your post now. If you need any help getting more ideas for your LinkedIn post, there's a tool on Gravity that can give you awesome post ideas. So let's go

back to the LinkedIn Profile Builder, and here you can get different ideas for your LinkedIn posts. So let's click "Create Content," and as you can see, it has generated 10 unique ideas for your LinkedIn posts. If you're looking for some sample posts tailored to your profile, you can

just click here, and it will generate three different posts on various topics which you can share on LinkedIn. Let's say you're searching for a job and want to tell people about it; you can use this job search post feature, and it will generate the job

Search content based on your profile, so let's copy it, paste it on LinkedIn, then click "Post", and you're done. Okay, next let's see how you can find and apply for a job on LinkedIn. Just go to your profile and click on "Jobs" to find a job. Just type the role

and location you want in the search bar. You can also filter by experience, date posted, and remote options, and you will find different job postings based on your needs. Once you get the search results, scroll through them, and if you find something you're interested in, just click "Easy Apply",

then fill in this information and click "Next". Here, upload your latest resume, and once you're done, click "Next". Here, check and see if everything is correct, then finally click "Submit". This is how you can apply for a job on LinkedIn. Okay, I've got some quick

tips that can bring you more connections to your profile. If you're looking for a job, you can let recruiters know by adding a "Open to Work" frame to your profile picture. It's very easy to do that. Just click on your profile picture, go to "Frames", then select "Open to

Work" and click "Apply". Then enter the job title you're looking for. You can also choose who can see your profile picture—whether it's everyone on LinkedIn or only recruiters. Select it and click "Save", and your profile picture will be updated with a border like this that lets people know that you're searching

for a new job. The next step would be to take up skill assessments on LinkedIn. It's a great way to show your employers that you have the skills and the expertise that they are looking for. To do that, just go to "Jobs" and click "Skill Assessments". You can take a quiz on any of

Your strong skills. Once you have completed it successfully, you will receive a badge on your profile, like this. So that's it, guys. This is how you can make your LinkedIn profile stand out and grab new opportunities. If you like this video, do give it a thumbs up.
