LinkedIn Now Allows Uses To Enhance Their Profiles With Images
LinkedIn has added a new feature: the ability to add visual content to the “Summary,” “Experience” and “Education” sections of the profile page. Users can now upload photographs, illustrations and presentations onto their profile pages to showcase their best work. Yesterday, LinkedIn product manager Udi Milo announced the update in a post on the LinkedIn blog:
For the first time, you will now have the ability to showcase your unique professional story using rich, visual content on your LinkedIn profile. This means you can illustrate your greatest achievements in the form of stunning images, compelling videos, innovative presentations and more.The new feature is a boon for graphic designers, photographers and any other professional working in a visual medium, as they can display their best and most credible works right on their profile page, alongside text summaries and descriptions.
The feature isn’t just useful for artists and designers. Before this update, there wasn’t much opportunity to be creative with the content on your LinkedIn profile page. Now, anyone can create and upload presentations, infographics or images to accompany their best features, their working history or their education.
To add images to your profile page, click “edit” and then follow the prompts in the “Summary,” “Experience” and “Education” sections.
To see an explanatory slideshow go to the announcement post on the LinkedIn blog.
